Decision The petitioner's request to declare the proceedings initiated by the Banking Court as illegal was dismissed by the Sindh High Court.

The decree holder is entitled to recover the loan amount either from the principal borrower or the surety. The court found no merit in the petitioner's arguments and upheld the execution of the decree against the mortgaged property, emphasizing that the petitioner's claims were misconceived. The petition was dismissed at the preliminary stage, along with all listed applications.
