Counsel for the respondents: Sri M.Vidyasagar for R.1. This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in seeking to sell the petitioner’s house property bearing Door No.12-111 (New Door No.12-153), Opposite: Sivalayam temple, Jandrapeta, Chirala Mandal, Prakasam District, in pursuance of notification dated 11-12-2006, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, Sri G.Vidyasagar, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that his client is prepared to pay her part of the liability of 50% of the outstanding amount, which, according to Sri M.Vidyasagar, learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1, is Rs.8,66,198/-. The learned Standing Counsel fairly agreed that if the petitioner is willing to pay 50% of the said amount, respondent No.1 will not proceed with the sale of the petitioner’s property and that she will be relieved of her obligation to pay any further sum. In view of the above-mentioned submission of the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1, the Writ Petition is disposed of. Respondent No.1 is directed not to take any coercive steps against the petitioner’s property subject to the petitioner paying 50% of the outstanding liability. In arriving at the petitioner’s liability, the amount of Rs.1,00,000/- said to have been paid by the petitioner shall be given credit to. The petitioner is permitted to pay the above-mentioned amount within a period of two months from today. This order, however, does not preclude respondent No.1 from proceeding against the principal borrower for recovery of the balance amount. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J 11-4-2008 MNR
