submit stock statement from June, 201 8 and violated the agreed terms and

officia ls/inspectors, the company did not show the stocks in the Godown and
informed the officials that the unit was under maintenance and that the
Godown keeper was not available. Despite regular meetings held for
submission of stock statement, the company did not submit the stock
statement. The Company did not pay the dues to the bank and the accounts
turned into NPA.

diverted and the amounts were misappropriated, No intimation through stock
statement about the sales or receivables were given to our bank. The
removal of the stock was also not intimated to the bank. No auditing of the
stocks were allowed. Also the company concealed real information from the
bank to avail higher drawing power and thereby induced the bank to give
more funds and cheated the bank. The company deliberately and with clear
intention to cheat and defraud the bank conspired and resorted to criminal
acts and induced the bank to give more finance, played mischief and
breached the trust and misappropriated amounts and diverted funds. The
criminal acts were done with full knowledge and understanding of the
repercussions of the same. The Directors and guarantors had complete
knowledge of the illegal activities of the company and all the directors and
