JUDGMENT 1.Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Senior Government Pleader for the second respondent. Notice to the first respondent is dispensed with in the light of the orders being issued hereunder, preserving its right to move this Court for review of this judgment, if aggrieved. 2.Petitioner availed a loan in 1999. That led to an arbitration award leading to a sale in execution. With the passage of nearly 10 years now, the amount has grown to that shown in Ext.P2. The date of sale was 17-1-2008. Obviously, that would have been confirmed within the time limit stated in Ext.P2. WP(C)7696/2008 -: 2 :- 3.All that the petitioner seeks is a time limit within which he could repay the debt and save the property to himself. 4.In the circumstances of the case, it is directed that if the petitioner remits the entire amounts covered by Ext.P2 and further accruing incidentals and expenses within a period of two months, the bank will consider re-conveying the property to the petitioner at his expenses. The petitioner will place a copy of this judgment before the first respondent within one week of its issuance from this Court and make a representation seeking relief. 5.The writ petition is disposed of in the above terms.
