SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.16924 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner took margin money loan from the Industries Department. He also obtained a loan from the Kerala Financial Corporation. Now the entire amount has been repaid both under the loan with the KFC and the margin money loan. In spite of the same, the security documents for securing the repayment of the margin money loan have not been released to the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner has not paid collection charges. The petitioner is willing to pay the collection charges also with costs and expenses incurred by the department. On these contentions the petitioner seeks the following reliefs: “(i) To call for the records relating to exhibit P6 and quash the same by issuing a writ of certiorari. (ii) Issue a writ mandamus or any other appropriate writ order or direction, directing the respondents to release petitioners property of 55 cents in Re Sy. No.182/11 of Manakkad Village, Thodupuzha Taluk (old survey No.731/2) to petitioner after receiving the collection charges and expenses incurred by Revenue Department, by passing necessary orders”. W.P.(c)No.16924/08 2 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. I am of opinion that in so far as the petitioner is ready to pay the amount demanded by the respondents, he cannot be denied the relief of release of the security documents. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to see that the security documents of the petitioner are released him, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of the balance amounts due including collection charges, which shall be intimated to the petitioner within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
