IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 10572 of 2007 DATE OF DECISION: November 22, 2007 Mrs. Manju Podar …Petitioner Versus Punjab and Sindh Bank and another …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. M.K. Dogra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. I.P. Singh, Advocate, for the respondents. M.M. KUMAR, J. Learned counsel for the respondent bank produced on record a photocopy of letter dated 22.11.2007, sent to him by the Zonal Manager of the respondent bank, showing that the total outstanding amount comes to Rs. 38,93,504/- by excluding the element of penal interest. An amount of Rs. 2 lacs deposited by the petitioner in pursuance to the direction issued by this Court on 19.7.2007 would also be set off from the aforementioned amount, if not already done. It is undisputed that the suit filed by the respondent bank is pending before the Debts Recovery Tribunal (for brevity, ‘the C.W.P. No. 10572 of 2007 Tribunal’), which is posted for hearing for 30.1.2008. A copy of the aforementioned letter is taken on record as Mark-‘A’. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that no statement could be made in the absence of specific instructions from the petitioner as to whether the aforementioned amount would be deposited by her or not. As the matter is pending before the Tribunal, we dispose of the writ petition by directing the petitioner to appear before the Tribunal on the date already fixed i.e. 30.1.2008, as she is already a party respondent in the suit filed by the respondent bank and the final settlement can be made before the Tribunal. Writ petition stands disposed of in the above terms. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (RAJESH BINDAL) November 22, 2007 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
