Recovery Officer, Debt Recovery Tribunal, 396, East Boring Canal Road, Patna-800 001. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Binay Kumar singh. For the respondents : M/s. D K Sinha, Sr. Advocate & Bimlendu Mishra. ------ 03. 17.05.2010 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and senior counsel for the Bank this writ application is being disposed of on a limited ground that the Presiding Officer, Debt Recovery Tribunal will first render his decision in M.A No. 7 of 2006 as well as Appeal No. 10 of 2009 before proceeding with R.P. No. 79 of 1999. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the decision in the two matters referred to above has a direct bearing on the recovery proceeding in which the Tribunal is proceeding without adjudicating the issue raised by the petitioner or the Bank in the two stated matters. The Court fails to understand as to what is holding back the Debt Recovery Tribunal in rendering his decision since argument has been completed in one case in many months 2 ago. The writ application stands disposed of with the above direction. It is left open to the Tribunal to fix a time frame for disposal of these matters. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J )
