THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.18502 of 2010 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th June, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner and his father had availed two loans in the year 2002. However, they defaulted repayment of the same. Therefore, the bank initiated proceedings against them for recovery of the amounts due. The petitioner had some disputes with regard to the calculation of the amount that was claimed by the second respondent bank. Therefore, the petitioner submitted a representation seeking relief in the matter. As per Ext.P3 judgment in W.P.(C) No.35124/2009, the second respondent was directed to consider the grievances of the petitioner and to take a decision in the matter. Accordingly, as per Ext.P4, it has been found that the petitioner is not entitled to any relief. Therefore, the petitioner was directed to pay the amount within 30 days thereof. Ext.P4 is dated 25.3.2010. According to the petitioner, he could not pay the amount within the time stipulated. Therefore, he has approached this Court for the grant of some more time to make the payment. 2. According to the counsel for the petitioner, the wpc No.18502/2010 2 entire property is about to be acquired by the State for the Kerala State Electricity Board. As soon as the compensation is received, the entire amount could be paid. Therefore, the petitioner seeks two months' time to make the payment as stipulated in Ext.P4. However, since substantial amounts are remaining due and unpaid to the second respondent bank, time can be granted to the petitioner only on his making a substantial payment, to show his bonafides. Since I am only extending the time stipulated for payment in Ext.P4 and I am not passing any orders adverse to the interests of the second respondent bank, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the respondents. 3. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of extending the time fixed in Ext.P4 for making the payment stipulated therein by a period of two months on condition that the petitioner remits an amount of Rs.2.75 lakhs on or before 24.7.2010.
