Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 15517 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 26th May, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a guarantor for repayment of certain amounts taken as loan from the 3rd respondent by one Mr. K.P. Sukumaran Nair who died in an accident on 10-4-2002. The petitioner's contention is that the terminal benefits due to late Mr. K.P. Sukumaran Nair, the principal debtor, is being disbursed to the 4th respondent by the 1st respondent without adjusting the loan amount while the petitioner is being proceeded against for recovery of the amount. The petitioner therefore seeks withholding of the terminal benefits due to the 4th respondent to the extent covered by the loan account. The petitioner has filed Ext. P6 representation in the matter. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P6 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for respondents 1 and 2. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P6, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the 4th respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till orders are so passed, out of the terminal benefits, amounts sufficient to cover the loan amount shall not be disbursed to the 4th respondent. The writ petition is disposed of as above. W.P.C. No. 15517/2008 -: 2 :- The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 1st respondent for compliance. S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
