THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.NO.10694 OF 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking Mandamus declaring the action of the first respondent in not accepting One Time Settlement Scheme application submitted by the petitioner and also complying with the orders of the District Cooperative Officer (FAC), Vizianagaram made in Rc.No.3824/2004-C (Coop), dated 7-10-2004 as arbitrary and illegal apart from being violative of the guidelines issued by the Commissioner for Co-operation and Registrar for Co-operative Societies, Hyderabad. According to the petitioner, he had secured an amount of Rs.1,50,000/- towards establishment of a rice mill on 7.6.1994 repayable in 72 instalments. It appears, the petitioner could not pay the entire amount and therefore, his rice mill which was mortgaged with the respondent-bank was put to sale. According to the petitioner, the respondents themselves asked the petitioner to avail One Time Settlement Scheme, which is in vogue. Though he filed an application seeking to consider his case under One Time Settlement Scheme, the same was not considered and the mortgaged property was put to sale. While admitting the writ petition on 29-4-2005, this Court granted interim stay on condition of the petitioner depositing Rs.1,00,000/-. Leaned counsel for the petitioner submits the said amount has already been deposited with the respondent-Bank. Under those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed to consider the application filed by the petitioner seeking One Time Settlement within a period of three weeks from today and pass appropriate orders as per law. Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. _______________ C.V.RAMULU,J rkk Dated: 24-11-2010
