THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/04/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 12608 OF 2007 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of April, 2007 JUDGMENT Since the prayer is only for grant of time for settlement of liability, I feel W.P. can be disposed of without issuing notice to the respondents. W.P. is accordingly disposed of directing the second respondent to grant OTS benefit to the petitioner and grant three months' time to settle the balance liability if petitioner remits Rs. 15,000/- and makes application for OTS benefit within one month from now. Recovery proceedings will be kept in abeyance for one month from now and if Rs. 15,000/- is paid and application for OTS benefit filed, recovery proceedings will be kept in abeyance for three months from now. However, if petitioner does not make full payment as above within three months then OTS benefit granted will stand withdrawn and Bank will be free to proceed for recovery of the full arrears.
