UNNIRAJ, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ================== W.P(C)No.26232 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 1st day of September, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a defaulter in repayment of loan amounts due from the Kerala Financial Corporation. The petitioner's contention is that certain benefits declared by the Government has not been given to the petitioner in the matter of repayment. The learned Standing Counsel for the K.F.C. points out that the benefit of one time settlement scheme has been extended to the petitioner and he has accepted the same. However, in spite of repeated reminders, he has not paid the amounts as per the O.T.S. According to the Standing Counsel, therefore, the petitioner cannot now turn around and seek other benefits. 2. I am not inclined to consider the merits of the rival contentions at present since the petitioner has already invoked the jurisdiction of the 1st respondent by filing Ext.P8 representation in the matter. Therefore, it would suffice to direct the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P8 expeditiously. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8, as W.P(C)No.26232 of 2008 - 2 - expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner would be free to rely upon any scheme of the Government or any other material which would support his case. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 1st respondent for compliance. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE rhs
