Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 13066 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 19th August, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is challenging revenue recovery proceedings for recovery of balance loan amounts outstanding from the petitioner. Although there was a dispute regarding the actual amount due, now the 1st respondent has offered the facility of one time settlement to the petitioner by offering that if the petitioner pays an amount of Rs. 2,58,341/- on or before 31-8-2009, the 1st respondent would close the loan account. This is acceptable to the petitioner also. The learned counsel for the Housing Board points out that the petitioner had been given several opportunities to close the account by one time settlement, which he has not availed of. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: If the petitioner pays an amount of Rs. 2,58,341/- on or before 31-8-2009, the respondents would close the loan account and withdraw the revenue recovery proceedings. On payment, appropriate release deed shall also be executed in respect of the security documents. However, it is made clear that the petitioner will not be given any further opportunity and if the petitioner does not pay the amount as directed above, it would be open to the respondents to continue the proceedings as now initiated for recovery of the full amount without having to issue any further notice or proceedings in that regard.
