For the Bank : Dr. Binay Kumar Singh, Advocate. ----------- 04. 28.03.2011 In compliance of the orders of this Court dated 11.3.2011 petitioner submitted before the Branch Manager, State Bank of India, Chapra his willingness to pay a sum of Rs.50,000/- towards final settlement of the Bank’s claim which was not accepted by the Branch Manager as the amount does not even include the principal amount due on the date when the account became non-performing asset. Having considered the matter, I direct the petitioner to pay the principal amount due from him on the date when the account became NPA. The Branch Manager should waive the interest raised thereafter. Besides the principal amount petitioner should also pay court fee paid by the Bank. With the observation aforesaid, the contempt petition is disposed of. Rajesh/ ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
