According to him, the liability has been settled, but however the Bank has not issued a letter evidencing the settlement of the liability to the revenue recovery authorities, as a result of which, the recovery authorities are continuing the recovery action. 2. In view of the complaint raised as above, the respondent Bank was directed to file a statement. Accordingly, a statement has been filed. It is stated that after availing the loan as above, the petitioner remitted an amount of Rs.38,760/- on 23/10/2008 as claimed by him. It is stated that by this the liability is not fully discharged and as on 31/3/2009, an amount of Rs.21,374/- is still due from the petitioner. 3. Going by the statement thus filed, it is obvious that the liability of the petitioner is not discharged fully. If that be so, the petitioner cannot expect the Bank to issue a certificate to the recovery authorities certifying that the liability has been WPC 9580/09 :2 : discharged. 4. In view of the above, the prayer sought for directing the Bank to issue the settlement letter as claimed by him cannot be granted. 5. Be that as it may, in view of the developments as noticed above, it is directed that on production of a copy of this judgment, the 3rd respondent Bank shall issue to the petitioner a statement of accounts evidencing the amount that is due from him. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
