Syndicate Bank, Branch Kankhal and two others. …Respondents. Mr. Sanjeev Singh, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. K.K.Sah, Advocate, learned counsel for the respondent no. 1- Bank. Mr. P.C.Bisht, Brief Holder, learned counsel for the respondent no. 2& 3. Date December 13, 2010. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. (Stay Application) Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the recovery certificate/citation dated 18-3-2010 issued by respondent no.3 (Annexure No. 1 to the writ petition). According to the petitioner, she took a home loan in the month of September 2005 amounting to Rs. 1,50,000/-, which was to be paid within a period of seven years in monthly instalments of Rs. 2,637/-. Due to unfavourable circumstances, the petitioner could not make regular payment of instalment, hence the impugned recovery citation (Annexure-1) was issued against the petitioner, which gave rise to the present writ petition. In the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner has urged that the petitioner is ready and willing to pay the entire outstanding amount under the recovery citation along with recovery charges in easy instalments. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent Bank Mr. K.K.Sah, Advocate, has submitted that the respondent no.1-Bank would have no objection if the entire outstanding amount under the recovery citation is paid by the petitioner in not more than four equal quarterly instalments and the first instalment being paid by 15th day of February, 2011. 2 In the above and circumstances of the case, it would be in the fitness of things to direct the petitioner to repay the entire outstanding amount under the impugned recovery citation (Annexure No. 1 to the petition) along with recovery charges before the recovery officer-Tehsildar Haridwar (respondent no.3) in four equal quarterly instalments. The first quarterly instalment shall be payable by 15th day of February 2011. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to pay the entire outstanding amount under the recovery citation (Annexure-1 to the petition) in four equal quarterly instalments before the recovery officer-respondent no.3-Tehsildar Haridwar along with recovery charges etc. The first quarterly instalment shall be payable by 15th day of February 2011 and the subsequent instalments shall fall due by the 15th day of the month after every three months thereafter. It is made clear that in case the petitioner commits a default in payment of any of the instalments, as directed above, the respondents would be at liberty to recover the entire outstanding amount from the petitioner in lump- sum. The amount, if any, already deposited by the petitioner shall be adjusted. Accordingly, the impugned recovery citation issued by the respondent no.3 (Annexure-1 to the petition) shall not be given effect to by the respondents. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (B.S.Verma,J.) RCP
