ORDER
Order No. 20.08.2026
1.
1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.
2. The Petitioner in this writ petition prays for the following relief:
“It is, therefore, most humbly and respectfully prayed that this Hon’ble Court may graciously be pleased to issue Rule NISI calling upon the opp. Parties show cause as to why:-
1. The E-Auction Notice dtd. 07.05.2026 issued by the O.P. No.2 under Annexure-1 so far it relates to Plot No. 114/3188/3558 of Khata No.832/680 for an area of Ac.0.03 dec. and Plot No. 114/3188, Khata No.832/900 area of Ac.0.05 dec. shall not be quashed after declaring the same as illegal;
2. The Bank may be directed to allow the petitioner to close the loan account under prevailing One Time Settlement Scheme within a stipulated period ;
If the Opp. Parties fail to show cause or show insufficient cause, the rule may be made absolute;
And pass any other order/orders as would deem fit and proper. Digitally Signed Signed by: MADHUSMITA SAHOO Designation: Senior Stenographer Reason: Authentication Location: High Court of Orissa, Cuttack Date: 20-Aug-2026 15:34:44 Signature Not Verified
And for this act of kindness, the petitioner shall as in duty bound ever pray.”
3. It is submitted by Mr. Pal, learned counsel being authorized by Ms. Parida, learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner, that the e-auction scheduled to be held on 30th May, 2026, has failed. Thus, the prayer challenging the e- auction sale notice under Annexure-1 has become infructuous. He, however, submits that the Petitioner is keen to settle the loan account under the One Time Settlement (OTS) Scheme.
4. In view of the above, this Court without delving into the merits of the case of the Petitioner, disposes of the writ petition with an observation that the Petitioner, if so advised, may approach the Bank, in accordance with law, by making a proposal for settlement of the outstanding loan dues under the OTS Scheme.
Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
