Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 21224 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 4th day of July, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a defaulter in repayment of loan amount taken from the 4th respondent-bank. The petitioner does not dispute the liability to pay or quantum. The petitioner seeks only time for payment. 2. This Court passed the following interim in this writ petition on 27.1.2007 as follows: “There will be an interim stay against further recovery steps on the basis of Ext. P4 for a period of thee weeks subject to condition of the petitioner remitting a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only) within three weeks. It is made clear that in the meanwhile, the petitioner will be at liberty to approach the respondent bank seeking revival/regularisation of the account. If any such approach is made, the same shall be considered Department hors pendency of this writ petition.” Standing counsel for the bank submits that the condition in the interim order has not been complied with. This is not disputed by the counsel for the petitioner. However, taking a lenient view, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 4th respondent to grant the petitioner two more months' time to pay off the entire amount. Sd/- S.
