IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 2027 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : 12.02.2008 Gurmeet Singh .... PETITIONER Versus The Machhiwara Primary Co-op. Agriculture Development Bank Ltd., Machhiwara, District Ludhiana and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG Present: Mr. I.P.S. Doabia, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. (Oral) The petitioner has filed this petition for issuing a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the auction notice (Annexure P-1). We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Undisputedly, in the year 2001, the petitioner had taken a loan of Rs. one lac from the respondent bank, for the purpose of construction of cattle shed. The said loan amount was to be repaid in easy instalments, but the petitioner did not pay the instalments and thereafter, the respondent bank started proceedings to recover the amount and to sell the mortgaged property under the provisions of the Punjab State Co-operative Agriculture CWP No. 2027 of 2008 -2- Development Bank Act, 1957. From the impugned notice, it appears that before publishing the auction notice, the respondent bank asked the petitioner by notice to clear the outstanding dues, but when the dues were not cleared, the auction notice was issued. We do not find any illegality in issuance of the said notice. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is willing to pay the entire outstanding amount. Dismissed. However, it will be open for the petitioner to approach the bank authorities for the settlement of his loan account. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE February 12, 2008 ( RAKESH KUMAR GARG ) ndj JUDGE
