JUDGMENT
The petitioners availed credit facilities from the respondent Bank. On default being committed, proceedings have been initiated against the petitioners and the property of the petitioners was brought to sale. The property was purchased by the bank as there were no bidders for the property. The amount received from sale of the property has been adjusted against the loan liability.
2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are willing to settle the loan liability under one time settlement and the bank may be directed to re-convey the property of the petitioners.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent Bank submits that if the petitioners move a suitable application, the Bank is willing to consider whether some waiver of interest etc can be granted to the petitioners. It is submitted that on the petitioners remitting the amount as per the decision of the Bank, the property can be re- conveyed to the petitioners.

4. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners will make a comprehensive representation seeking waiver of interest as also for re-conveyance of the property and the same may be directed to be considered by the competent authority of the respondent bank. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned counsel appearing for the respondent bank, this writ petition will stand disposed of directing the petitioners to submit a comprehensive representation within ten day from today (01.04.2025) seeking waiver of interest and also for the re- conveyance of the property, the same shall be considered by the competent authority of the respondent Bank. If the petitioners remit the amount demanded by the bank on consideration of the representation to be submitted by the petitioners, the property of the petitioners shall also be re-conveyed to the petitioners, if necessary, by cancelling the sale conducted in favour of the bank, since it is submitted that the Bank has so far not registered the property in its name and has also not mutated the property in its name. It is 2025:KER:27923 W.P.(C)No.43993 of 2024
directed that the re-conveyance to the petitioners can be done without any further act of registration or execution of any further documents. The writ petition will stand disposed of accordingly.
