Petitioner offered her property as security for that transaction. The principal debtor thereafter died. Recovery proceedings have resulted in listing the property for sale. Hence this Writ Petition. On the aforesaid facts there is no jurisdictional error or legal infirmity in the impugned proceedings. It is pointed out by learned counsel appearing for the Bank that in terms of Circular Nos.75/07 and 3/08 the petitioner is entitled to certain benefits, provided, the outstandings are cleared on or before 29.02.08. It is also stated that the total outstandings would be around Rs.13 lakhs. This means that the petitioner would get a reduction of three-fourth of the amounts covered by Ext.P2, which is Rs.56,41,455/- as on 28.12.07, with accruals. In the aforesaid circumstances, repelling the contentions of the petitioner on all other terms, this Writ Petition is disposed of WPC No. 5669 OF 2008 2 directing the petitioner to approach the Bank for the benefit as aforesaid, which will be extended in terms of law.
