The petitioner availed a loan of Rupees One Crore Ten Lakhs for purchasing the machineries and a cash credit loan of Rs.40,00,000/- (Rupees Forty lakhs only) towards work capital arrangement. This was on the strength of security interest created over the property. Admittedly, the petitioner could not satisfy the timely repayments, whereupon the Bank declared the accounts as 'N.P.A.' and proceeded with steps under SARFAESI Act, which are sought to be intercepted in this writ petition.

2. The learned counsel for the Bank submits on instructions that, the account was declared as N.P.A. on 30.06.2013 and no repayment was effected by the petitioner, but for filing some representations like Exts.P2 and P5. The request made by the petitioner as per the representations was considered and answered in the 'negative' by the Bank and the outcome was let known to them, then and there. No concrete proposals were submitted by the petitioner as to the manner in which the liability W.P.C.No.5207 of 2014 2 sought to be liquidated. It is also submitted that the Bank had already approached the DRT by filing O.A., which is stated as pending.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner points out that the petitioner does not intend to dispute the liability and the rights and liberties of the respondent Bank in proceedings with the steps under SARFAESI Act. It is stated that the petitioner has already identified a prospective purchaser and that negotiations are going on, so as to effect 'private sale' of the property concerned. It is assured and undertaken that the petitioner is ready to satisfy 10% of the outstanding liability within `one month' and the entire balance amount will be cleared within three months thereafter. It is in the said circumstances that the indulgence of this Court is sought for, to sell the property.

4. During the course of hearing, the learned counsel for the Bank submits that, if the petitioner proves bonafides by depositing 10% of the due amount as assured within `one month', he can be given a further period of three months to satisfy the balance amount. W.P.C.No.5207 of 2014 3 In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of, recording the submissions and undertaking made on behalf of the petitioner. The petitioner is directed to satisfy 10% of the disputed liability within `one month' from today and the balance amount shall be cleared within `three months' thereafter. If the petitioner commits any default in honouring the commitments as above, it will be open for the respondent Bank to proceed with further steps for realisation of the entire amount due, from the stage where it stands now. The writ petition is disposed of. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE sp
