THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 19402 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 4th July, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner defaulted repayment of housing loan taken from the Kerala State Housing Board and they have initiated recovery proceedings. The petitioner now submits that he is entitled to the benefits of One Time Settlement Scheme and seeking that relief, the petitioner has filed Ext. P9 representation dated 6-5-2008. He prays that the 1st respondent may be directed to consider the same expeditiously. 2. Learned standing counsel for the respondents points out that the petitioner had earlier approached this Court by filing W.P(C) No. 37127/2004 seeking the benefit of one time settlement, which was rejected by this Court by Ext. P8 judgment holding that since the petitioner has not availed of the benefit of One Time Settlement Scheme extended to him, he is not entitled to any further relief. 3. Since the claim of the petitioner for one time settlement has been finally rejected by this Court by Ext. P8 judgment, I cannot, under law, direct the respondents to consider the petitioner's claim for one time settlement again. Therefore, there is no merit in the writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
