|
Hon'ble Janardan Sahai , J.
Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Sri Mohd. Yusuf holding brief for Shri Tarun Verma counsel for the Bank.
Petitioner has taken loan of for the agricultural purposes. According to the petitioner he could not pay the installment amount due to unavoidable circumstances, which is sought to be recovered by coercive means. It is submitted that if reasonable time is allowed to pay the amount sought to be recovered, petitioner may be able to pay the same and irreparable injury on account of arrest and auction of property may be avoided.
To the aforesaid, learned counsel appearing for contesting respondent submits that although in some of the cases it has been said that against the recovery proceedings, unless some illegality is pointed out, the court may not interfere, but at the same time submission is that intention of the respondent bank has been never to cause any irreparable injury to the loanee rather the loan amount was advanced with the purpose to improve the petitioner's future prospects and thus if for justifiable reason the amount in terms of the agreement has not been paid and now petitioner has bona fide intention to pay the amount within a reasonable time then respondents may not have any objection.
Accordingly, this petition is disposed of finally with the following directions:-
(i) Petitioner may deposit the entire amount sought to be recovered directly with the contesting respondent no.3, Bank in six equal instalments. In calculating the arrears the amount (if any) already paid will be adjusted.
(ii) The first instalment may be deposited by 25th August, 2006, the second by 25th November, 2006, the third by 26th February, 2007, the fourth by 26th May 2007, the fifth by 25th August 2007 and the sixth/last instalment by 26th November 2007 . In case instalments are deposited with the contesting respondent then the recovery charges will not be recovered from the petitioner.
(iii) Petitioner may file an application for supply of statement of account along with duly stamped self addressed envelope. In case any such application is filed, the contesting respondent will give the same to the petitioner within fifteen days after the deposit of first instalment.
(iv) Property (agricultural land/tractor) belonging to the petitioner if attached will be released after the deposit of first instalment by the concerned Tehsil authority unless it has already been auctioned.
