Mr. Deepak Sharma, learned counsel appearing for the defendant-appellants, has submitted that the judgment rendered by ld. Mr. Deepak Sharma, learned counsel appearing for the defendant-appellants, has submitted that the judgment rendered by ld. trial Court and the decree passed, be set aside, as no document regarding disbursement of the loan has been proved on record. 10. I am not impressed with the argument raised by the learned counsel appearing for the defendant-appellants. 11. In view of specific admission made by defendant-appellants in the written-statement, more particularly in Para 3, which has been reproduced herein above, there was no necessity for the bank to prove documents. 12. On behalf of defendant-appellant, learned counsel has contended that since working capital was not disbursed, therefore, defendant-appellants are not entitled to return the amount. 13. This argument cannot stand judicial scrutiny. The amount received as loan is to be returned. No ground is made out to cause interference. 14. In view of stand taken by defendant-appellants in the written-statement, the present appeal, is, hereby, dismissed, being devoid of merit. 15. Upon dismissal of main appeal, the stay application, filed therewith does not survive and the same is also dismissed.
