MR.P.V.SURENDRANATH R3 & R4 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER MR.K.C.SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 5657 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 25TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner got Ext.P4 judgment from this court regarding settlement of a transaction with the first respondent. He paid Rs.5,00,000/- and is awaiting a decision on the final closure of the transaction. He has been issued Ext.P5, whereby he was given the benefit of slashing a portion of the interest and certain other benefits. According to him, he is entitled to the benefit of Circulars 1 and 5 of 2009. I do not want to say anything on merits of that claim, since nothing is pleaded in the writ petition as to the category under which the petitioner seeks coverage under those circulars. But the learned counsel for the bank states that even after Ext.P5, the petitioner would be entitled to further relief, provided he is prepared to pay off the entire outstandings by 28.3.2009. Obviously, even if petitioner is entitled to the aforesaid circulars, the decision of the bank will be regulated accordingly. Hence this writ petition is ordered directing that petitioner will appear before the first respondent on 4.3.2009, so that the matter could be finalised at that end. WP(C) 5657/2009 2 Issue copy of the judgment at the earliest. THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/25/2
