You may not be able to find all the answers at place. However, you may look for commentaries under Section 9 of C.P.C. read with Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act.

The action against guarantor and borrower is maintainable as per decision of the lender.

It may better to settle the matter out of court.

There may hardbly be any worthwhile defence available with the borrower and/or guarantor against action of the lender.

The courts are inclined to effectuate recovery speedily.
