BY ADV. SRI.SIJU KAMALASANAN RESPONDENT: ------------- CHIEF MANAGER, STATE BANK OF INDIA, REGIONAL BUSINESS OFFICE, BEACH ROAD, ALAPPUZHA. BY ADV.SRI.P.V.SURENDRANATH, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ======================= W.P.(C) No.5973 of 2008 (J) ======================= Dated this the 29th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT In this writ petition, admittedly the petitioner is a defaulter. According to the petitioner, at least Rs.1 lakh is in default. When this writ petition was taken up, the only request made by the petitioner was to permit him to pay the amount in default and to regularise the loan. According to the standing counsel for the Bank, the request of the petitioner can be accepted if he pays the amount in default immediately. The condition suggested by the bank cannot be unreasonable by any standards. 2. Therefore, I direct that if the petitioner remits the amount in default with interest within 10 days from today, that will be accepted by the bank and thereafter the loan shall be regularised. Needless to say that in case the petitioner does not comply with the condition as above, the Bank will be free to continue the action that is already initiated. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE jp
