IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3702 of 2005 JAGESHWAR PRASAD SINHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4 26.2.2009 Heard Mr. Jageshwar Prasad Sinha in person as also counsel for the State. There is no dispute that the petitioner had taken a housing loan in the name of Smt. Savitri Sinha (since dead). The terms and condition of such loan was reduced in the form of an agreement and the payment thereof was to be made strictly in terms of the agreement (Annexure:-2A). As per the case of the petitioner, he is said to have made payment but then from a Government letter dated 22.7.2005 (Annexure-5) it would transpire that a sum of Rs. 16,021/- was still payable by Smt. Savitri Sinha (since dead). The grievance of the petitioner is that on account of the said dues of loan being shown against Smt. Savitri Sinha (since dead), the original Title Deed of the land and house in question is still with the respondents and is not being released. Mr. Sinha, however, after some argument, would concede that he is prepared to liquidate whatever is legally admissible and payable dues for clearing the loan in the name of Smt. Savitri Sinha (since dead) and undertakes to pay the entire amount along with interest including the sum of Rs. 16,021/- indicated in the demand notice dated 22.7.2005. Mr. Sinha, however, would submit that he will need a period of two months to clear such dues. In view of the fact that now the petitioner appearing in person has undertaken the 2 liability of Smt. Savitri Sinha and is prepared to pay the entire amount along with interest including the one indicated in the demand notice dated 22.7.2005, this Court would direct the concerned authorities of the Housing Board to give fresh calculation of up-to- date demand for the period 31st March, 2009 by 15th of April, 2009 whereafter if the petitioner makes payment of the same by 15th of May, 2009, the authorities will be under obligation to return the original Title Deed of the land/house in question within a period of one week of clearing entire amount by the petitioner. With the aforementioned observations/directions, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
