Hon'ble Brij Raj Singh,J. Heard. The opposite parties nos. 2 and 3 are private banks or finance companies who are said to have extended some loan to the petitioners. Now this petition has been filed seeking a writ of mandamus directing the said opposite parties no.2 and 3 to accept an amount of Rs.5 lacs and upgrade the loan account of the petitioners for making balance payment in installments. On being asked to demonstrate as to how a writ of mandamus under Article 226 can be issued against such private finance companies or banks, the counsel could not give satisfactory explanation. It is nothing but an abuse of the process of the court. The petitioner is ill-advised. The writ petition is dismissed.
