JUDGMENT
The petitioner, who had availed a loan from the respondent bank and defaulted in repayment of the same is aggrieved by the steps taken by the respondent bank to sell the secured assets. Ext.P4 is the sale notice issued by the respondent bank. In the writ petition Ext.P4 is impugned. When the matter was taken for orders today, it is submitted by standing counsel for the respondent bank that the sale that was proposed in Ext.P4 notice, did not go through and hence, the respondent would have to issue a fresh sale notice before proceeding further in the matter. Taking note of the said submission of standing counsel for the respondent bank, I am of the view that the present grievance of the petitioner in the writ petition has been redressed. I therefore close the writ petition, leaving it open to the petitioner to challenge the fresh sale notice, as and when published, if he is aggrieved thereby. The statement of counsel of the respondent bank that before pursuing steps for sale of the property, due notice of the same will be published, is recorded.
The writ petition is disposed as above.
