IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14181 of 2008 Fine Tailoring Industry, Nawab Bahadur Road, Gujari, Patna City, through its Proprietor, Zaffar Imam, S/o-Md. Hadis, resident of Nawab Bahadur Road, Gujari, Patna City, District-Patna. -Petitioner. VERSUS 1. Punjab National Bank, Chowk Patna City Branch through its Branch Manager. 2. Zonal Manager, Punjab National Bank, R-Block, Chankya Place, P.S. Kotwali, District-Patna. 3. Authorized Officer, Special Asset Recovery Cell, Punjab National bank, Budha Colony, Patna. 4. State of Bihar through its Secretary, Department of Industries, Bihar, Patna. -Respondents. ----------- 05 13.05.2009 By order dated 16.03.2009, while granting interim protection this Court had directed the petitioner to deposit Rs. 1 lac within four weeks. The matter was then taken up, petitioner having deposited the said Rs. 1 lac on 28.04.2009. The petitioner was further directed to deposit by 12th May, 2009 a further amount of Rs. 1 lac and produce proof therefor. When the matter is taken up today, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner has been able to deposit only Rs. 20,000/- and seeks further three months time to deposit the balance amount, as ordered earlier. I may note that the petitioner’s account became NPA in the year 1999 for value of about Rs. 2.54 lacs by now adding interest at PLR the amount has far exceeded to Rs. 9 lacs. It is for default of payment this step was taken under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act to sell the mortgaged properties. This Court seeing the eagerness of the petitioner to liquidate - 2 - the dues and to protect the residential house of the petitioner took a sympathetic view and in an effort to liquidate the dues in instalments was fixing these instalments so that at the first instance the NPA stands liquidated. It appears that the petitioner did not appreciate this and has sought to take undue advantage of the sympathy which now appears to be misplaced. The writ petition is dismissed for non-performance of the order dated 16.03.2009. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
