The Allahabad High Court has summoned the chairman of ICICI Bank to explain the use of recovery agents in a loan case, defying a Supreme Court prohibition. Justice Prashant Kumar addressed the petition by ICICI officials Jasminder Chahal and others, pointing out that despite a 2007 Supreme Court ruling against such practices, ICICI used recovery agents in 2013. The case involves Rahul Singh, who allegedly repaid his loan but was still labeled a defaulter, hindering his business. Singh’s criminal complaint led to a summons for ICICI officials, who sought a stay from the High Court. The ICICI chairman must now clarify the bank’s actions by July 10, 2024.
