Ghanshyam had borrowed 50,00000 under a registered mortgage deed, dated 14/02/18 executed in favour of late Harsham Jogi and his sons (S1, S2 and S3 in the present case). It is the case of Ganshyam that that several payments were made towards the debt and that they were endorsed on the mortgage bond. The interest stipulated in the mortgage bond was 10 per cent per annum, and the balance due as of now was 20 lakhs. Meanwhile, pending the negotiation between the sons, the second son issued a notice that all of them were entitled to a 1/3 th share each in the amount due under the mortgage bond.
