RECOVERY OFFICER,DEBTS RECOVERY TRIBUNAL ERNAKULAM. 2. THE FEDERAL BANK LTD., REPRESENTED BY ITS MANAGER, ADOOR BRANCH, ADOOR. 3. M/S.ZACHS AGENCIES, KOMPIYIL HOUSE, THUMPAMON P.O. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ W.P.(C) No. 3955 of 2008-U ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Dated this the 13th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a guarantor for a transaction which resulted in a recovery certificate issued in the year 2005. The outstanding amounts as on 30/04/2005 is Rs.49,58,792.47 as per Ext.P1. In 2008 February, this writ petition is filed stating that the petitioner was only a guarantor and she could raise the necessary funds by private sale if the bank extends the benefit of one time settlement scheme, reduction in outstandings and also by permitting private sale. I do not think that at this distant point of time, it is for this Court to exercise writ jurisdiction to extend any such reliefs to the petitioner. Writ petition fails and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. It is clarified that, this judgment will not stand in the way of the petitioner working out the remedies, according to law, before the recovery officer or the Tribunal, as the case may be.
