RAMANA & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P. DURGA PRASAD WRIT PETITION NO : 22731 of 2011 ORDER: (Per Sri Hon’ble Sri Justice N.V. Ramana) This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondent not to take any coercive steps in pursuance of the proceedings dated 12.4.2011 in R.P.No.107 of 2010 in O.A.No.26 of 2009 on the file of the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam pending disposal of the O.A. It is the case of the petitioners that the respondent-Bank filed the O.A. No.26 of 2009 for recovery of the loan amount granted to them and the Tribunal has passed an exparte decree in the above O.A., on 3.8.2010 and they filed an application on 13.9.2010 seeking to set aside the exparte decree, along with stay application. The same is pending before the Tribunal. Meanwhile, the respondent-Bank filed R.P.No.107 of 2010 in order to proceed further. Heard the learned Counsel for both parties and perused the material available on record. The limited grievance of the petitioners is that exparte decree was passed against them by the Tribunal on 3.8.2010 and they filed an application to set aside the same, along with stay application on 13.9.2010. But so far no orders were passed by the Tribunal. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without going into the merits of the case, we feel it appropriate to direct the Tribunal to dispose of the applications filed by the petitioners on merits. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Visakhapatnam to dispose of the applications, if any pending, within a period of four weeks from today. No order as to costs. __________________ Justice N.V. Ramana DATE: 11.8.2011 ____________________ Justice P. Durga Prasad nn THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.
