HC on Loan Recovery: Banks Cannot Coerce Defaulting Loan Borrowers To Pay by Publishing Their Photos, It Violates Right to Privacy and Reputation, Says Kerala High Court

The Kerala High Court recently said that a bank cannot publish the photo and details of defaulting borrowers to coerce them to repay loans. The high court bench of Justice Murali Purushothaman stated that such acts invade a person's right to live with dignity and reputation. "The borrowers cannot be coerced to repay the loans by threatening to damage their reputation and privacy. The publication or display of photographs and other details of defaulting borrowers in public will be an invasion on the right of the borrowers to live with dignity and reputation. Such deprivation of life and personal liberty cannot be made except according to procedure established by law," the state's top court said. The high court further noted that such acts infringe a person's right under Article 21 of the Constitution. The court also noted this is not a mode of recovery mentioned in any Act or Rules. BJP’s Wayanad Candidate Navya Haridas Moves Kerala High Court Challenging Congress Leader Priyanka Gandhi’s Election.
