R1 BY ADV. MR.S.SREEKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/08/2009,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: tss V. GIRI, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P.(C) No. 30425 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this the 20th day of August, 2009 JUDGMENT The Kerala State Financial Corporation proposed sale of an item of property mortgaged by the borrower, as per Ext.P1 sale notification. The petitioner took part in the tender and quoted Rs.2,10,00,000/-. It seems that the sale was confirmed, but, thereafter, the petitioner defaulted payment. A fresh sale was notified by the Corporation. This writ petition has been filed challenging the second sale notification and seeking confirmation of the first auction wherein the petitioner's bid was accepted. 2. An interim order was passed by this Court on 15-10-2008 in W.P. (C) No. 30319 of 2008 filed by the original borrower staying the sale of the property on condition that the petitioner shall pay an amount of Rs.40,00,000/-. It was then affirmed that the said amount was not paid. It was clarified that stay is no longer in force. In so far as the present petitioner is concerned, it is clear that he did not pay the balance consideration in spite of confirmation. The Corporation is therefore entitled to re-notify the property for sale. I find no grounds to issue any further direction in this writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. It will be open to W.P.(C) No. 30425/08 2 the petitioner to work out his remedy as regards the amount already deposited with the Corporation and I have not dealt with the said contentions in this writ petition.
