Petitioner has approached this Court being faced with the proceedings initiated by the respondent Bank under the SARFAESI Act.
2. Petitioner had taken a housing loan for 5,00,000/-. The petitioner could not repay the monthly instalments in time on account of certain financial difficulties. In the meantime, proceedings had been taken by the respondent Bank under the SARFAESI Act.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is ready and willing to pay the outstanding dues in instalments and will also pay the regular instalments, if some time is granted.
4. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner had expressed the willingness to repay the amount in instalments, W.P.(C) No. 30868 of 2016 -2- I am of the view that some indulgence can be shown to the petitioner.
Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of as under:
(i) The petitioner shall pay the overdue amount with accrued interest in ten equal monthly instalments starting from 01/11/2016.
(ii) In addition to payment of the aforesaid amount, petitioner shall also remit the monthly instalments as per the agreed terms.
