Sri. K.V. Lokesh, learned counsel is directed to accept notice for the respondent.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner is
directed to serve a copy of the petition papers upon the aforesaid learned counsel. The impugned notice dated 16.03.2024 indicates that the amount in due is Rs.4,59,213/-, interest is Rs.5,23,012/- and compound interest is Rs.92,730/- put together a whooping figure of Rs.10,74,955/- is projected for outstanding Rs.4,59,213/-. Be that as it may. Four weeks or on or before 31.03.2025, whichever is earlier, is granted to the petitioner to deposit Rs.4,59,213/-. Insofar as the interest is concerned, the petitioner is directed to approach the respondent – Bank and to sit with them and settle the issue. Therefore, there shall be an interim order of stay of all further proceedings pursuant to the impugned notice dated 16.03.2024, subject to the aforesaid condition. List the matter on 03.04.2025."
3. The learned counsel appearing for the bank submits that the interim order has been complied with and would further submits that if the petitioner undertake to regularise the amount, the petition itself can be disposed.
4.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that if six weeks time is granted, the account would be regularised, but

has a difficulty with the imposition of interest by the bank which is exorbitant, is the submission.
5. Therefore, it is for the petitioner to represent and get the interest tweaked at the hands of the bank. However, I deem it appropriate to dispose the petition with the direction to the petitioner to regularise the account, within the next six weeks.
6. Till such time, no precipitative action shall be taken against the petitioner's property.
7. With the aforesaid observations, the petition stands
disposed.
