JUDGMENT 1. - An amount of Rs. 82,000/- was advanced to the petitioners by the State Bank of India in the year 1990 and the said amount was to be re-paid within a period of 9 years at the rate of 12.5% per annum. It is admitted that by the year 1999 an amount of more than Rs. 2 lacs should have been paid by the petitioners, but they have, by now, paid only Rs. 90,000/-. However, a technical plea has been raised that notice was not legally served on the petitioners before proceeding to take penal action against him for non-payment. 2. Be that as it may, no useful purpose would be served by summoning the respondent to this Court, as ultimately it is the computation of the amount which would arise for consideration. In the interest of justice one more opportunity is granted to the petitioner to appear before the prescribed authority ie. respondent No.2-The Sub Divisional Officer, Deeg, who may consider the plea of the petitioners in the light of the Judgment reported in Ors. Bank vs. DS Godwa ( 1994(5) SCC 213 ) and pass orders which is just and proper. The amount determined by the prescribed authority shall be payable by the petitioners within such period which may be specified by the prescribed authority and if the same is not paid, the respondents shall be at liberty to auction only such portion of land of the petitioner which would be capable of fetching the outstanding dues of the Bank. The petitioners therefore, are directed to approach the prescribed authority on 15th September, 2000 and the prescribed authority thereafter may decide the matter within the time as it may deem fit and proper. The auction proceedings for this purpose shall be kept in abeyance till 15th September, 2000. 3. In view of the aforesaid direction, the writ petition stands disposed of.Petition Disposed of. *******
