JUDGMENT
Petitioners have approached this Court challenging proceedings initiated by the respondent Bank under the provisions of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 for recovery of the amounts due from the petitioners.
2. During the course of hearing, petitioners have confined the relief to an opportunity for repaying the liability in instalments.
3. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent bank submits that the petitioners availed an overdraft facility from the respondent bank and committed default in repayment. It is also submitted that regularisation is not possible. It is further submitted that though proceedings for recovery have been initiated, as a matter of indulgence, the respondent bank is willing to accept the repayment of the outstanding amount in limited instalments. According to the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent, (after giving credit to the amounts pursuant to the interim order dated 21.02.2025), as on 10.03.2025, the balance amount which is liable to be repaid is Rs.1,74,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore and seventy four lakh only).
4. Having regard to the circumstances of the case and the submissions made as recorded above, I am of the view that the petitioners can be granted an opportunity to repay the outstanding amount of Rs.1,74,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore and seventy four lakh only) along with accrued interest, cost and charges in twelve instalments.
5. Accordingly, there will be a direction to the respondent bank to accept repayment of the entire outstanding amount of Rs.1,74,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore and seventy four lakh only) along with any accrued interest, cost and bank charges from the petitioners in the following manner:
(i) The petitioners shall pay the outstanding amount of Rs.1,74,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore and seventy four lakh only) in twelve equated monthly instalments along with any accrued interest, cost, and charges;
(ii) The first instalment shall be paid on or before 30.04.2025 and the subsequent instalments shall be paid on or before the last working day of the succeeding months;
(iii) In the event of default of any one instalment, the respondent bank shall be entitled to proceed in accordance with the law;
(iv) In order to enable the petitioners to repay the entire amounts, all coercive proceedings shall be kept in abeyance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- GOPINATH P. JUDGE ajt
