MR.K.C.SANTHOSHKUMAR, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------ WP(C) No.25193 of 2009 -------------------------- Dated, this the 28th day of August, 2009 ------------------------------ J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a defaulter to the Bank, of which the 1st respondent is the Sale Officer. By Ext.P1, mortgaged properties are scheduled to be sold on 18/09/2009. According to the petitioner, he is entitled to have the benefit of the Agricultural Debt Waiver and Debt Relief Scheme, 2008. Urging this claim, he has made Ext.P2 representation to the 2nd respondent. It is contended that until orders are passed on Ext.P2, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1 should be deferred. 2. Having regard to the fact that the sale is scheduled only on 18/09/2009, I do not think that any such order is necessary, as the 2nd respondent can very well take a decision on Ext.P2 before the date of sale. Therefore, I direct the 2nd respondent to pass orders on Ext.P2, if the same has been received and is pending, before 10/09/2009. 3. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent for WP(C) No.25193/2009 -2- compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
