GOVT.PLEADER SRI.K.C.SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 25058 OF 2009 (B) ===================== Dated this the 28th day of August, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a defaulter to the Hosdurg Primary Co-operative Agriculture and Rural Development Bank, Kanhangad. The recovery proceedings resulted in Ext.P1 sale proclamation published by the 1st respondent, in terms of which, sale of the mortgaged properties is scheduled to be held on 16/9/09. Petitioner contends that he is eligible for waiver of the liability in terms of the provisions contained in the Agricultural Debt Waiver and Debt Relief Scheme, 2008. 2. Urging the aforesaid claim, he has filed Ext.P2 before the 2nd respondent. He prays that until a decision is taken on Ext.P2 by the 2nd respondent, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1 should be kept in abeyance. 3. Going by Ext.P1, the sale is scheduled to take place only on 16/9/2009. If so, there is no reason why the 2nd respondent should not decide on Ext.P2 before the date of sale, if such an application has been received and is pending. 4. Therefore, I direct the 2nd respondent to pass orders on WPC 25058/09 :2 : Ext.P2, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate before 10th of September, 2009. 5. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 2nd respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
