JUDGMENT
The petitioner has availed financial credit facility from the
respondent. Since there was default in payment of the same, proceedings
under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and
Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 were initiated as is evident from
Ext.P1.
2. During the course of the hearing, petitioner sought for an
opportunity to repay the entire overdue amount in instalments and to
obtain regularisation of the loan account.
3. I have heard Smt.Soumya Issac, the learned counsel
appearing for the petitioner as well as Sri.Anil Kumar P.C., the learned
Standing Counsel for the respondent.
4. The learned Standing Counsel, upon instructions, submitted
that the total overdue amount as on date is Rs.3,70,645/- and the
respondent is willing to accept repayment of the overdue amount in limited
instalments. The learned Standing Counsel also submitted that the
respondent is willing to regularise the loan if the petitioner pays the
overdue amount in 15 equated monthly instalments.
5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of
the view that the this writ petition itself can be disposed of, permitting the
petitioner to pay the entire overdue amount of Rs.3,70,645/- in
instalments and to have the loan regularised.
6. Accordingly, there will be a direction to the respondent to
accept repayment of the entire overdue amount of Rs.3,70,645/- along
with applicable charges and to regularise the loan of the petitioner on the
following conditions:
(i) The overdue amount of Rs.3,70,645/- (Rupees three lakhs seventy thousand six hundred and fortyfive only) along with applicable charges shall be repaid in '15' equated monthly instalments starting from 30.05.2022.
(ii) Petitioner shall continue to pay the regular EMI's along with the instalments directed above.
(iii) In the event of default of any one of the instalments, the respondent shall be entitled to proceed in accordance with law.
(iv) In order to enable the petitioner to repay the entire amounts, all coercive proceedings initiated against the petitioner shall be kept in abeyance.
The writ petition is disposed of.
