1. M/s. Ongole Aroghya Hospitals [Link].,
Represented by its Managing Director
Ongole.
I, Kavuru Krishna Prasad, S/o Appaiah, Hindu, aged 47 years, working as an ‘Officer on
Special Duty’ (OSD) for NRI Hospital at Chinakakani, resident of No. 405, Sri Balaji Fortune
Towers, Opp: Autonagar, Managalagiri, do hereby solemnly affirm and state on oath as follows:
1. I submit that I am the GPA holder of the Plaintiff and I know the facts of the case. I am
having personal knowledge about the facts of the case. I crave leave of the Hon’ble Court to
read the plaint as part of this affidavit.
3. I further submit that the Defendant No.2 and the other Directors of the Defendant No.1
have contacted the Plaintiff and his associates including me, and induced him to purchase
the Defendant No.1 company, which runs an hospital under the name of ‘Aroghya Hospital’ at
Ongole with a representation that the hospital is being run in a well organized manner and it
has got state of art equipment, other assets and that the Defendant No.1 is free from
encumbrances. The Plaintiff and his associates have believed such representations and
accordingly the Plaintiff paid on two occasions amounts of Rs.50 Lakhs each time through
RTGS on 25-01-2016 vide RTGS UTR [Link] 52016012500501203 and RTGS UTR
[Link] 52016012500501213 respectively, on 25-01-2016 and the said amounts were
transferred from the Plaintiff’s account maintained at Dhanalakshmi Bank Ltd., Chinakakani
branch and credited to the 1st Defendant’s current account bearing No.401900301000187 of
Vijaya Bank, Ongole. The Plaintiff has also paid further sum of Rs.30 lakhs on 11-03-2016 to
the Defendant No.1, totaling to Rs.1,30,00,000/- (Rupees One crore thirty lakhs only), towards
advance for sale consideration in respect of the sale of the 1 st Defendant’s business, and the
same was acknowledged by the Defendant No.2 for and on behalf of the Defendant No.1. The
Defendant No.2, being the Managing Director of the Defendant No.1, has acknowledged the
receipt of above mentioned payments of Rs.1,30,00,000/- (Rupees one crore thirty lakhs only)
in the letter addressed to the Plaintiff herein.
4. I further submit that subsequently, the plaintiff came to know that the Defendant No.1 is
not managing the hospital business in a well organized manner and that it incurred huge debts
to its creditors and that the Defendants played fraud on the Plaintiff and induced to part with the
above huge amounts. In these circumstances, the Plaintiff cancelled and concluded the
proposal to purchase the hospital and business of the Defendant No.1 duly expressing his
attention and accordingly demanded for repayment of the amount paid by the Plaintiff as
advance sale consideration.
5. I further submit that the Defendant No.2, being the Managing Director of the Defendant
No.1 addressed a letter to the Plaintiff confirming the cancellation of the proposed sale and
unconditionally undertook to pay back the entire amount. Subsequently on 13-06-2016, the
Defendants addressed another letter Dt.13-06-2016, engrossed on a non judicial stamp paper
worth of Rs.100/-, duly acknowledging the receipt of the above mentioned amount and they
further undertook and reconfirmed that the amount will be repaid in short time since the sale
proposal was mutually cancelled. While the matter stood thus, the Plaintiff has noticed a
publication in local newspaper of Prakasam District Dt.23-08-2016 purportedly on behalf of one
M/[Link] Institute of Medical Sciences Ltd., stating that they are going to take over the
Defendant No.1 company and called for objections. As the Plaintiff is an interested party, sent
their objections Dt. 29-08-2016, but invain. As the agreement was cancelled and concluded in
between the Plaintiff and the Defendants, the relationship in between the Plaintiff and the
Defendants is turned as ‘creditor and debtor relationship’ and the Defendants being debtors
made themselves liable to repay the advance sale consideration forthwith along with accrued
interest to the Plaintiff. Thus, the Plaintiff reserved his right to initiate appropriate legal
proceedings against the Defendants and against other necessary persons, in accordance with
the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956/2013, without prejudice to their rights and remedies
in recovering the suit amount, including winding up of the Defendant No.1 Company as per
provisions of Section 433(e) of the Companies Act, 1956 for its inability to pay debts. As the
Defendants have received the said amount for sale of the hospital as well as business of the
Defendant No.1, the Defendant No.1 as well as the Defendant No.2, who dealt the transaction
personally and who made promise and assurance, and who violated several provisions of Law
and who undertook to repay the amount payable to the Plaintiff and being the Managing
Director of the Defendant No.1, the Defendant No.2 is also made himself personally liable to
pay the suit amount to the Plaintiff. Thus, the liability of the Defendant No.2 is joint, several and
co-extensive with that of the Defendant No.1. As the Defendants have utilized the said amount
of Rs.1,30,00,000/- (Rupees one crore thirty lakhs only) for its business, the defendants are
liable to pay interest @ 24% p.a. till the date of realization.
6. I further submit that in spite of the demands made by the Plaintiff and on their behalf
including me, the defendants failed to repay the advance amounts on some pretext or other.
As such, the Plaintiff got issued a legal notice Dt.10-09-2016 to the Defendants as well as to
the said M/[Link] Institute of Medical Sciences Ltd., demanding for repayment of the amount
of Rs.1,30,00,000/- (Rupees one crore thirty lakhs only) along with interest @ 24% p.a. as the
transaction is in commercial nature and as per public policy, but they remained silent. The
Defendants are not entitled for any relief under any Debt Relief Enactments. Further, the
defendants are making attempts to screen away the valuable movable and immovable
properties beyond the reach of their creditors including the plaintiff, collusively.
7. I further submit that the defendant is about to dispose off the petition schedule
properties with intend to obstruct or delay the execution of the Decree that may be passed in
favour of the Plaintiff. The defendants contacting broakers so as to alienate the schedule
properties in favour of the others and they are trying to escape from the local limits of the
jurisdiction of the Hon’ble court. Unless the Hon’ble court attaches the petition schedule
property, the plaintiff may not be in a position to record full satisfaction of his claim. The plaintiff
also learnt that the defendant filed collusive suits in regard to the petition schedule property so
as to avoid payment of the amount to him under the suit claim. Thus it is just and necessary to
pass an order of conditional attachment of the petition schedule properties to meets ends of
justice. The plaintiff has got strong and prima facie case to succeed in the suit.
8. Therefore, I pray that the Hon’ble Court may be pleased to order conditional attachment of
the petition schedule properties in failure of the defendants in furnishing the security for the suit
amount in the interests of justice and equity. Else, the plaintiff will be put to serious loss and
hardship.
