This Court, vide order dated 13.11.2024, directed the respondent-Bank not to confirm the sale, subject to the petitioner depositing 10% of the outstanding amount due. The petitioner has complied with this interim order by depositing the said amount. 3. The learned counsel for the respondent-Bank submitted that the auction scheduled on the designated date did not take place due to the lack of bidders. He further submitted that the petitioner’s loan account could - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:10074 WP No. 4939 of 2025 be regularized, provided the petitioner deposits a sum of Rs.2,55,34,681/-, along with accrued interest, on or before 31.12.2024. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is willing to deposit the requisite amount for the regularization of the loan account, provided reasonable time is granted. 5. Therefore, it is appropriate to dispose of this petition by directing the petitioner to deposit a sum of Rs.1,00,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore only) on or before 31.12.2024 and to pay the balance amount, out of Rs.2,55,34,681/-, along with accrued interest, if any, on or before 31.01.2025.
