IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9884 of 2008 SHIV NARAYAN SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 22.4.2010 Heard learned for the parties. Petitioner was a guarantor who has to face the responsibility of being the guarantor because the original borrower passed away when the certificate proceeding was initiated. Petitioner was arrested on the order of the certificate officer and he was compelled to make payment. His stand is that he has already paid more than the principal amount but the compound interest that the bank has charged is his grievance. The heirs of the original loanee have not been made party to the issue. Learned counsel for the respondent Bank submits that they are willing to resolve the matter with open mind if the petitioner approaches the respondent Bank. They are willing to resolve the issue by give and take. Keeping the above in mind, the matter is remitted back to the Branch Manager of the State Bank of India, respondent no. 4 with a hope that he shall examine the matter keeping in view the status of the petitioner and to make effort to reconcile the matter amicably so that the issue comes to rest. If no amicable settlement is reached between the parties then the proceeding may have to be continued. No coercive action will be taken against the petitioner in the meanwhile if the petitioner approaches the Bank - 2 - within a month. This writ application is disposed of as above.
