BY SC SHRI CHANDRAMOHAN DAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. --------------------------- W.P.(C)No.2310 OF 2008 -------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 18TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner stood as a guarantor for a loan availed by his brother from the first respondent. Petitioner himself was constrained to repay a portion of the amount which was effected by attachment of his salary. According to the petitioner Exhibit P2 shows that the total amount outstanding is in the region of Rs.30,000/= . The petitioner has now undertaken the responsibility of repaying the amount though he is only a guarantor. This is done, apparently, taking note of the fact that the principal debtor is his own brother. 2. The petitioner prays for a consideration of his plea on one time settlement of the dues. 3. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents also. 4. The writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider Exhibit P3 as an application for one time settlement of the dues in question (referred to as Exhibit P2) as early as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall pay the amount which is W.P.(C)No.2310/08 2 fixed or as required to be paid for a full and final settlement of the account, pursuant to the orders to be passed by the first respondent. Pending such orders, further recovery from the salary of the petitioner shall be kept in abeyance and it shall be subject to the orders to be passed on Exhibit P2. V.GIRI, JUDGE. dsn
