JUDGMENT
The petitioner, challenging SARFAESI proceedings, has approached this Court.
2.
The only prayer of the petitioner is that he may be given 25 instalments to discharge the entire liability. 2.
Learned standing counsel for the Bank opposes the prayer of the petitioner and submits that the liability of the petitioner is more than Rs.55 lakhs.
Considering the facts and circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:
i.
The petitioner shall remit Rs.5 lakhs within one month. ii.
Thereafter, the petitioner shall continue to remit Rs.50,000/- per month for a period of nine months and in the 10th month, he shall discharge the entire balance amount in lumpsum.
iii.
If the petitioner commits default in remitting anyone of the instalments, the Bank is free to proceed against him in accordance with law.
