P (C) Nos. 8872, 8991 & 9040 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 9th October, 2009. J U D G M E N T In all these writ petitions, the petitioners are defaulters in repayment of loan amounts due to the 1st respondent. They are aggrieved by the recovery proceedings initiated by the 1st respondent for recovery of the amounts due. The petitioners do not dispute the liability to pay or the quantum thereof. They only seek time to repay the amounts. 2. Initially, this Court passed an interim order permitting the petitioners to pay the amounts in instalments as stated in each case, every month. Admittedly, the petitioners have not complied with that order. The petitioners now confine their relief for time to pay the balance amounts due within three months. 3. I have heard the learned counsel for the 1st respondent also. 4. Although, I am not happy with the conduct of the petitioners in not complying with the orders of this Court, taking a lenient view, I direct the 1st respondent to permit the petitioner to pay off the balance amount within three months. If the petitioners do not pay the balance amounts within three months, the bank can recover the entire amount due in accordance with the proceedings now initiated without having to issue any further notice or proceedings to the petitioners. The writ petitions are disposed of as above. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
