WP(C).NOs 35124 & 35231 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 25TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioners in both these cases are the persons who had availed of loans from the second respondent, Bank. However, they have defaulted repayment of the loan amount. Consequently, the bank has initiated proceedings against them for recovery of the amounts due. The proceedings initiated by the bank are under challenge in these writ petitions. Though interim orders were granted in both these cases, subject to the condition that a portion of the amount is deposited by the petitioners, the condition has not been complied with. Therefore, the interim orders are no longer in force. 2. The petitioners in both the cases have submitted Ext.P2 representations to the second respondent bank evidenced by Ext.P2 in both the cases. No orders have been passed thereon till date. 3. In the above circumstances, these writ petitions are disposed of directing the second respondent bank to consider the representations of the petitioners, evidenced by Ext.P2 in both the writ petitions, in Wpc 35231/09 2 accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In the meanwhile, the petitioners can raise necessary amounts to clear the dues to the bank. Till disposal of Ext.P2, coercive proceedings to recover the amounts due shall be kept in abeyance.
