JUDGMENT
Dated this the 03rd day of August, 2022 The writ petition is filed challenging Ext.P6 demand notice, issued by the Kerala Financial Corporation under Section 29 of State Financial Corporations Act. 2.While admitting the writ petition, this court directed the petitioner to deposit 10 % of the amount due, for proving the petitioner's bonafides. It is informed that the petitioner has not remitted the amount. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, under the then prevailing circumstances, it was impossible for the petitioner, a hotelier, to deposit any amount. Even then, an amount of Rupees Twenty Lakhs was deposited by the petitioner. 3.It is submitted that, taking into account the impact of Covid 19 and the resultant lock down, an Adalat had been conducted, in which the petitioner also participated. As opined in the Adalat, the petitioner submitted re-structured proposal for repayment before the Kerala Financial Corporation.
4. Learned Standing Counsel for the Kerala
Financial Corporation submitted that no leniency can be shown in the petitioner's case, since the direction issued by this Court is not complied with. I find merit in the above submission. The writ petition is hence closed, leaving it open the petitioner to approach the Kerala Financial Corporation seeking consideration of the proposal for repayment.
