Judgment :- The petitioner is challenging revenue recovery proceedings for recovery of amount decreed by the civil court against the petitioner in favour of the third respondent-Bank. It is conceded that the amount decreed is liability due to the Bank in the Credit Card account of the petitioner. The petitioner who was holding a Savings Bank Account did not provide sufficient funds in the account for Bank to adjust the same against debit balance in the Credit Card Account. Accordingly Bank filed suit and obtained a decree against the petitioner for recovery of the outstanding amount with interest thereon. As on the date of initiation of revenue recovery proceedings the amount due from the petitioner to the Bank was Rs.34,264/- with future interest. 2. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that revenue recovery proceedings cannot be initiated for recovery of amount due under Credit Card account as the notification issued by the Government namely, SRO 797/1997 under section 71 of the Revenue Recovery Act, 1968 authority recovery through revenue recovery proceedings only for development loans which does not take in advance made under the Credit Card Account. Counsel for the petitioner has also relied on the decision of the supreme court in Califf India Chambers V. Syndicate Bank (1999 (1) KLT 155) wherein the supreme court has held that unless the loan falls within the definition of development loan found in the notification, revenue recovery is not maintainable. Counsel for the third respondent on the other hand relied on the decision of this court in State Bank of India V. Kuttappan (1998 (2) KLT 130) and contended that decree amount can be recovered through revenue recovery proceedings under the abovereferred notification issued section 71 of the R.R. Act. However on going through the decision of this court I find all what this court has held is that amount due under a decree also can be recovered through revenue recovery proceedings provided the loan comes within the purview of the notification. However on going through the decision of this court I find all what this court has held is that amount due under a decree also can be recovered through revenue recovery proceedings provided the loan comes within the purview of the notification. Loan under development scheme is notified by the Government under SRO 1465/87 which is as follows: “ SRO 1465/87: In exercise of the power conferred by section 71 of the Kerala Revenue Recovery Act, 1968 (15 of 1968), the Government of Kerala, being satisfied that it is necessary to do so in public interest hereby declare that the provisions of the said Act shall be applicable to the recovery of amounts due from any person or class of person to any bank on accounts of any loan advanced by that under various development schemes. ………………… (b) “Development scheme” shall include all priority sector advances and all financial assistance given through the banks under the schemes approved by the State/Central Government or other Government agencies or the schemes administrated by the Development Department with a view to improving the living conditions of the economically and socially weaker section of the community. (Notification No.54415/S3/86/RD dt.13/10/1987, published in K.G.dt.17/11/1987).” It is clear from the above that credits available under credit cards by the card holder does represent a long under the development scheme. Therefore, obviously recovery of the decreed amount is not permissible under the R.R. Act as the notification issued under section 71 of the Act does not authority recovery of such loan. In the circumstances, the decision relied on by the third respondent also finding of this court is also to the effect that recovery of decree amount through revenue recovery can also be made provided the leading to the decree is one coming within the scope of notification issued under section 71 of the R.R. Act. In the circumstances, O.P. has to be allowed by quashing revenue recovery proceedings initiated for recovery of the amount decree by the civil court in respect of advances permitted to the petitioner under credit card account and I do so. However, the Bank is free to proceed for recovery of balance amount including interest if any due through execution proceedings. The execution court will exclude from period of limitation, the period during which O.P. filed by the petitioner was pending in this court.
