Petitioner seeks to quash Exts.P1 and P2 proceedings initiated against her under the Revenue Recovery Act for realising the amounts that are due to the Bank following a loan availed of by the petitioner for buying a cow. According to the petitioner, recovery proceedings are illegal as it is time barred. It is stated that she is entitled to the benefit of the loan waiver scheme declared by the Government of India. 3. Petitioner did not have an opportunity to raise these contentions before the respondent Bank. In view of these reasons, I think it is appropriate that atleast at this stage, petitioner should be relegated to the additional 4th respondent with a direction to file an appropriate application before him urging her contentions. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions. That the petitioner shall, file an appropriate application before the additional 4th respondent urging her claim for the benefit of the loan WPC 18416/08 :2 : waiver scheme and the other contentions. Such a representation shall be filed within 3 weeks from today, in which case, the additional 4th respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon within 4 weeks thereafter. It is directed that in the meanwhile, all further proceedings pursuant to Exts. P1 and P2 will be kept in abeyance till a decision is taken on the representation to be filed by the petitioner as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
