JUDGMENT
This is the second writ petition filed by the petitioner for the following prayers:
"Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondent to grant 24 equal monthly installments for repayment of the entire due amount till that period all further proceeding against the petitioner's property shall be kept in abeyance ii. Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondent to grant 24 equal monthly installments for repayment of the entire outstanding amount. till that period all further proceeding against the petitioner's property shall be kept in abeyance iii. Grant such other reliefs as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case"
2. The petitioner had approached this Court on an earlier occasion with W.P.(C) No.3213/2024 which was disposed of by this Court on the following terms:
WP(C) NO. 40145 OF 2024 3 2024:KER:84889
(i) The petitioner shall remit 5 lakhs on or before 24.06.2024 and the balance outstanding amount in twelve consecutive and equal monthly installments immediately thereafter along with accruing interest and other Bank charges, if any.
(ii) If the petitioner commits default in making payments as directed above, the respondents will be at liberty to continue with the coercive proceedings against the petitioner in accordance with law.
iii) If the petitioner make payments as directed above, coercive proceedings, if any, against the petitioner shall stand deferred."
3. It appears that the petitioner did not comply with the directions issued by this Court in the judgment dated 24.05.2024. Therefore, the Bank proceeded further under the provisions of the SARFAESI Act, and the Rules made thereunder.
Successive writ petitions for the same cause of action are not maintainable. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed.
