State Bank Of India & Ors vs Ujjal Kumar Das & Anr on 5 May, 2016

One has to balance the situation and act depending upon the factual situation. So far as above controversy several High Courts have given different opinions. The High Court of Madras in K.J. Doraiswamy Vs. The Assistant General Manager State Bank of India opined that interest of Bank requiring disclosure of information supersedes duty of secrecy because once a matter becomes public record and it becomes legitimate object of covenant and Right of privacy in terms of Article 21 is not an absolute Right or inviolable Right. It was further opined that Banks are entitled to invent novel methods to recover dues if borrower finds new method to avoid repayment of loans. This definitely indicates that under special circumstances where the borrower invents new methods to evade or avoid payment the Bank can also resort to new methods of recovery. Therefore, Madras High Court opined, there is no violation of any Right or legal proposition by publishing photographs of the borrower.
