JUDGMENT 1.Petitioner seeks to quash Exts.P1 to P3 which are applications filed before the Arbitrator by the second respondent co-operative bank. The petitioner essentially admits even in Ext.P4 that awards have been passed. They have become final. Common proceedings were initiated by the Co- operative Tribunal. Under such circumstances, no grounds in challenge of the awards could also survive. Hence, the only question is whether the petitioner is entitled to any direction for consideration of Ext.P4. The question of granting one time settlement scheme or ameliorative benefits would arise only if the petitioner proves bonafides to disburse the outstandings. Under such circumstances and having regard to the WP(C)3041/2008 -: 2 :- amounts involved, it is directed that if the petitioner pays Rs.5 lakhs within one month, the second respondent will consider Ext.P4 in accordance with law and take appropriate decision thereon. 2.The writ petition is disposed of in the above terms.
