IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10607 of 2007 1. BISHWANATH SINGH 2. RAMNATH SHARMA @ RAM NATH SINGH BOTH SONS OF LATE KISHUN SINGH RESIDNET OF VILLAGE FATEHPUR, P.O. SHAHAR RAMPUR, P.S. NAUBATPUR, DISTRICT PATNA. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE CERTIFICATE OFFICER, MASAURHI, PATNA. 3. STATE BANK OF INDIA THROUGH ITS BRANCH MANAGER MASAURHI BRANCH, PATNA. ----------- 2 19/02/2010 No case for interference with Certificate Case No. 20 of 2000-01 has been made out. The borrowing is not disputed. Non payment is also not disputed. What exactly is the liability is a question of calculation but naturally the borrowed amount will rise if the interest component is added to the same over a period of time. Loan is more than two decades old. There is some reflection that desire has been expressed by the petitioner to get the matter settled through Lok Adalat. This Court will not come in the way if the parties embark upon such a settlement or even a settlement through negotiation which may be made with the respondent Bank but those are issues where intervention of the Court is not required. It is for the parties to decide the course of - 2 - action to settle the dispute either on the dictate of the Certificate Officer or by negotiated settlement. This writ application has no merit. It is dismissed. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
