                               JUDGMENT

The petitioner had availed a loan from the respondent bank by creating mortgage of residential property as the secured asset. Due to the Covid pandemic, repayments were not made in time and the same led to proceedings for recovery against the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the sale of the property is scheduled on 16.05.2022.

2. The limited prayer of the petitioner in this writ petition is to grant instalment facility to pay the overdue amounts and to regularise the loan account.

3. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent Bank, on instructions, submits that the total outstanding amount due to the bank as on today is Rs.10,39,249/-.

4. Taking into account the averments in the writ petition and after hearing the learned counsel on either side, I deem it appropriate to grant instalment facility to the petitioner to wipe off the overdue amounts due to the respondent bank.

5. In the said circumstances this writ petition is WP(C)No.14851 of 2022 3 disposed of permitting the petitioner to deposit an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- before the sale date (16.5.2022). The petitioner to clear off the balance overdue amounts due to the respondent bank in 9 equal monthly instalments starting from 15.06.2022.

6. It is made clear that if there are two defaults committed in paying the instalments at any time, the petitioner will lose the benefit of this order and the respondent bank will be at liberty to proceed against the petitioner on the basis of the recovery proceedings already initiated.

The writ petition is disposed of.
