W.P.(C) No.11013 of 2008 .................................................................... Dated this the 1st day of April, 2008. JUDGMENT Since the prayer is only for reasonable time to settle liability due to the Bank, I direct the first respondent to grant OTS benefits to the petitioner, if liability exclusive of incentives granted by the Bank is settled by the petitioner before 30.6.2008. There will be direction to the second respondent to withhold recovery proceedings till 30.6.2008 and if Bank issues letter stating that liability is settled, to recall revenue recovery proceedings without recovering any collection charges. However, if liability is not settled, second respondent will proceed to recover the entire arrears after 30.6.2008 and in that event, collection charges also will be recovered. W.P. is disposed of as above. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
