TO JUDGE. C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. -------------------------------------------- O.P. NO. 13195 OF 2001 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of December, 2007 JUDGMENT O.P. is filed challenging the recovery proceedings for recovery of loan taken by the petitioners from Federal Bank Ltd. Counsel for the petitioners submitted that he has no instruction in the matter. Petitioners' case in the O.P. is that loan availed by them cannot be recovered through revenue recovery proceedings. Conditional stay order granted by this Court was not complied with. Small business loans given to petitioners are also covered by notification issued under Section 71 of the RR Act. Therefore O.P. is devoid of any merit and is dismissed. However, second respondent is directed to attach and sell the movable and immovable properties of the defaulters and recover the loan amount forthwith, if the petitioners do not settle the liability directly with the Bank.
