SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.8271 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner availed of a cash credit facility from the 1st respondent bank. The petitioner did not pay the dues on the said cash credit account. For recovery of the amounts, the bank initiated revenue recovery proceedings, which is under challenge in this writ petition. This Court passed two interim orders in this writ petition on 16.3.2011 and 12.4.2011. The petitioner complies with the direction in the order dated 16.3.2011. But, he did not comply with the direction in the second order dated 12.4.2011. The petitioner now submits that he could not comply with the same because of financial difficulties. The petitioner seeks further time to pay the same. The petitioner had more than four months' time to pay the same. Therefore, I am not inclined to grant any further time. Insofar as the petitioner has not complied with the directions in the interim orders, I am not inclined to exercise my discretionary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India in favour of the W.P.(C)No.8271/11 2 petitioner especially since the petitioner cannot dispute the liability to pay. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is dismissed. This will not stand in the way of the petitioner approaching the bank for appropriate reduction in interest etc., and the bank may consider the same in accordance with the policies and rules of the Bank.
