[TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE. S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 13015 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 28th May, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a defaulter in repayment of loan amounts due to the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on his claim for one time settlement, for which he has submitted Exts. P2 and P3 representations. Learned standing counsel for the respondents submits that the petitioner is not entitled to the benefits of one time settlement and he has already been directed to pay 75% of the amount for further consideration of his claims. The petitioner submits that he is prepared to pay 1/3rd of the amount due as a condition for considering Exts. P2 and P3. After having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions. 2. The petitioner shall pay 1/3rd of the amount demanded within two weeks. On receipt of the same, the 2nd respondent shall consider and pass orders on Exts.P. 2 and P3 in accordance with the rules and guidelines applicable, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of payment of the 1/3rd of the balance amount as directed above. Needless to say, if the 1/3rd amount is not paid, the respondents would be free to continue the proceedings now initiated without any further notice or proceedings . Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
