THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29.03.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
JUDGMENT
Repayment of the credit facility availed by the petitioner from the respondent Bank was defaulted. Consequently the Bank initiated recovery steps. Ext P1 is the notice in the said regard. Petitioner seeks for regularisation of the loan.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the Bank.
3. Considering the financial constraints pointed out by the petitioner, the fact that further term is
available for the credit facility and also the quantum of amount involved, I am of the opinion that a reasonable facility can be afforded to have the loan account regularised. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:
1) The loan account in question will stand regularised on the Petitioner paying the entire overdue amounts with interest and costs in fifteen equal monthly instalments commencing from 20.04.2022. 2) The subsequent instalments shall be payable on or before the 20th day of the succeeding months. 3) The instalments as above shall be in addition to the regular EMIs payable in the loan accounts. 4) In case of default in payment of a single instalment, the petitioner will lose the benefit granted under this
judgment and further proceedings for
recovery can go on. Sd/- SATHISH NINAN, JUDGE vdv APPENDIX OF WP(C) 1178/2022 PETITIONER EXHIBITS Exhibit P1 TRUE COPY OF THE NOTICE DATED 10.08.2016 ISSUED BY THE 2ND RESPONDENT TO THE PETITIONER.
