JUDGMENT
When this matter was called today, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that even though his client has obtained an Award, an execution has been filed for an amount of Rs.13,79,116/-, as on 22.02.2022.
2. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-Bank,
submitted that, the petitioner can be allowed to pay off the afore amount in not more than 12 equal monthly installments. He added that the amount paid under the interim order of this Court of Rs.1,00,000/- has not been adjusted.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner - Sri.V.K.Prasad,
accepted the afore suggestion. Taking note of the afore submissions, I allow this Writ Petition, permitting the petitioner to pay off the aforementioned amount, along with all applicable charges and interest, after deducting the amounts paid under the interim order, in 12 equal monthly installments commencing from 01.06.2024. Needless to say, if the amounts as afore are paid by the petitioner, the account will stand closed and the Bank will return to him all security documents as are necessary; but, if on the contrary, any two consecutive installments are defaulted, the benefit of this judgment will be lost to him and the Bank will be at full liberty to pursue further action pursuant to Exts.P1 and P2 without having to obtain further orders from this Court. It is also needless to say, therefore, that as long as the amounts as afore are paid, all further action pursuant to Exts.P1 and P2 will stand deferred.
