The witness has got no liability in that bank loan.
If the bank is not the secured creditor then it will have to file suit for recovery of money.

No witness is necessary for a guarantee. If taken he is not at all liable. Bank can recover dues by filing suit in apropriate court/tribunal against borrower and guarantor/s.

Thanks for opinion to all.

Witness only confirms physical availability of persons who executed the documents.

In case of default the bank has the right to recover the outstanding dues by filling the recovery suit against the borrower and the guarantor only and the witness has no liability as he has only identified the persons who has signed the documents. He can be produces as a witness in case the person signing the documents deny their signature on the said documents.
