MS: Kamil has seen/ done public sector lending in the country. Hope that she will recommend certain change in legislation for such defaulters. Huge amount is stuck in these assets. Defaulters taking refuge against stay orders.Litigation beneficiary is lawyers. Banks should be given the custody to sell to new buyers. These units can generate employment and contribute to economy. What is the use of having first charge on assets?Clear such defaulters and make friendly laws for genuine borrowers.
