JUDGMENT
When this matter was called today, the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent - Kerala State Financial Enterprises Ltd. (“KSFE”) submitted that the loan account of the petitioner involved in this case can be settled for a total amount of Rs.11,92,013/-, as on 31.03.2024, along with all applicable charges and interest, provided same is paid by him in not more than 15 equal monthly installments.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner - Sri.Bijith S.Khan, accepted the afore suggestion. Taking note of the afore submissions and in
order to obtain a balance between the rival
interests of the parties, I allow this writ petition, permitting the petitioner to pay off the aforementioned amount, along with all applicable charges and interest, in 15 equal monthly installments commencing from 01.05.2024.
Needless to say, if the amounts as afore are paid by the petitioner, the account will stand closed and the “KSFE” will return to him all security documents as are necessary; but, if on the contrary, any two consecutive instalments are defaulted, the benefit of this judgment will be lost to him and the “KSFE” will be at full liberty to pursue further action pursuant to Ext.P1, 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 Ext.P1 will stand deferred.
