2. We have gone through the impugned judgment, perused the record and considered the arguments of the learned counsel for the appellant. The Finance Agreement is dated 16th September, 1991, which according to the learned counsel for the appellant, expired on 9-9-1992 and which allegedly is the date of default. The Bank remained indolent for ten years and filed the suit on 20-1-2003. There is no legal justification for awarding the costs of funds from the alleged date of default i,e, 9-9-1992. The respondent could not be penalized for the inaction of the appellant-Bank.

This appeal has no merit and is dismissed. Aftab Arshad Sheikh, Director of the respondent-Company states that the security documents are not being released by the appellant-Bank. The appellant-Bank is directed to release the security documents of the respondent-Company within ten days from the date of this order.
