The Bank has initiated revenue recovery proceedings through the revenue recovery authorities which is under challenge in these writ petitions. Petitioners submit that they have entered into a compromise agreement with the Bank and the petitioners are prepared to pay the amounts due as per the compromise, within two months. 2. The learned Standing Counsel for the Bank opposes the prayers in the writ petition. He submits that if the Court is inclined to grant time to the petitioners, the petitioners shall be directed to pay future interest on the compromise amount also. 3. Having heard both sides, these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the Bank to permit the petitioners to pay the amounts due as per the compromise with interest for delayed payment within two months from today, for which W.P.(C) No.18501,18604,18606,18611/2011 -2- purpose revenue recovery proceedings shall be kept in abeyance for a period of 2 months. However, if the petitioners commit default in payment it would be open to the respondents to continue the proceedings as now initiated without having to issue any fresh notice or proceedings in that regard.
