JUDGMENT
The above writ petition is filed with the following prayers: “(1) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondents No 1 to 3 not to proceed against the petitioner as well as his property as per Exhibit P2, P3 notices.
(2) To dispense with the filling of translation of vernacular documents.
(3) Grant such other reliefs as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.”[SIC]
2. The main grievance of the petitioner is that,
when this Court delivered Ext.P1 judgment granting instalment facility when SARFAESI proceedings were initiated, the revenue recovery proceedings were initiated parallelly as evident by Ext.P2. Hence this writ petition is filed.
3. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, the learned Standing counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent and the learned Government Pleader.
4. The counsel appearing for the petitioner
submitted that, as per Ext.P1 judgment, this Court imposed certain directions and the time to comply the directions are not over. In the meanwhile, recovery proceedings were initiated.
5. After hearing both sides, I think there is
some force in the argument of the petitioner. If the directions in Ext.P1 judgment are complied, the revenue recovery proceedings also should be deferred. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of in the following manner: i. If the petitioner comply with the directions in the judgment dated 25.05.2023 in W.P.(C)No.16584/2023, further proceedings based on Ext.P2 shall be deferred. ii. If there is any default on the side of the petitioner in complying with the conditions in Ext.P1 judgment, the revenue recovery authorities can proceed in accordance with law.
