The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court has held that a borrower or guarantor cannot seek a One-Time Settlement (OTS) to settle their debts as a matter of right, and that courts cannot compel banks to disclose their internal benchmarks for deciding on such matters or force banks to accept such proposals. The Court added that it cannot interfere in such matters, which should be left to the commercial wisdom of banks.
