     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
05.04.2024, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C) NO. 6728 OF 2024               2

                              JUDGMENT

When this matter was called today, Sri.P.Paulochan Antony - learned Standing Counsel for the 3rd respondent - Bank, submitted that, the total outstanding in the loan account of the petitioners, as on 27.03.2024, is Rs.20,08,166/-; and that if they are willing to pay the same in not more than 24 equal monthly installments, his client will not stand in the way of this Court disposing of this writ petition on such terms.

2. Sri.M.Anuroop - learned counsel for the petitioners, fully agreed to the afore and prayed that this writ petition be thus ordered.

In the afore circumstances, I allow this writ petition, granting liberty to the petitioners to pay the total outstanding amount in the loan account, namely, Rs.20,08,166/ as on 27.03.2024, with all applicable charges and interest, in 24 equal monthly installments commencing from 15.05.2024. If this is done, the 3rd respondent - Bank shall close the loan account and return the title deed and security documents to them, on proper receipt.

Needless to say, as long as the petitioners pay as per the above directions, all further action pursuant to Ext.P1 & P2 will stand deferred; but if they default payment of two consecutive installments as ordered above, the 3rd respondent - Bank will be at full liberty to invoke WP(C) NO. 6728 OF 2024 3 appropriate remedies for recovery of the total balance amount as per law, without having to obtain any further orders from this Court.
