1) firstly you should not  have  made any payment by cash .

2) if you are gving another 5.5 lakhs by cheque , obtain a letter from Mr x that he needs funds for purpose mentioned herein above 

3) the letter should also mention that MR x shall repay the money within _____period 

4) on the documents beingg released from bank agreement shall be entered  into 

5) the flat  stands in joint name of Mr x and his wife . her signature is necessary too

Point No. 5 raised by my learned friend Mr. Ajay is most relevant in the facts stated by you... a mortgage / charge on the property can not be created unless all the owners consents and signs the documents.. how come u create and the bank accepted the mortgage... if your wife raises any objection [ done without his knowledge / consent] and file suit for injunction, she would succeeed ..... [unless the bank proves otherwise].. pl. ascertain the facts
