Facts of the Case

Background

The respondent borrowed $3,500 from Binali Yard in February 2018 and gave his Mitsubishi Canter as collateral. After repaying $16,204, he demanded return of the vehicle but both Binali Yard and appellant refused. The respondent obtained an ex parte order for release of the vehicle. The appellant appealed various orders and the matter was remitted for hearing on merits. The Magistrate referred the application to trial due to material disputes of fact, prompting this appeal.
