Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for respondent Nos.1 & 2 and Sri Vivek Kumar Rai, learned counsel for respondent No.3/Bank. 2. Against the notice dated 18.10.2023 issued by the respondent No.2/Pratyadan Adhikari/Additional District Co-operative Officer, Tehsil Bala District Prayagraj is under challenge. By the aforesaid notice, the petitioner was directed to deposit a sum of Rs.2,35,354/-. 3. It is argued by Sri Vivek Kumar Rai, learned counsel for respondent No.3/Bank that as on date, i.e., on 17.07.2025, a sum of Rs.2,85,400/- is due upon the petitioner. 4. It is argued by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready and willing to deposit the entire amount, in case he is permitted to do so in easy installments. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner has offered to pay the entire amount due against him, in my view, the ends of justice require that the petitioner be granted opportunity to deposit the entire outstanding amount due against him in the following manner. The Bank has also agreed to accept the amount payable. (i) Petitioner shall deposit Rs.50,000/- on or before 31.08.2025 with the respondent-Bank. (ii) In case the amount, as indicated above, is deposited by the period prescribed, the respondent-Bank shall provide statement of account, after adjusting the amount already deposited on or before 15.09.2025. That amount shall thereafter be deposited in four equal installments started with effect from December, 2025. The last installment would be deposited with balance amount and upto date interest. (iii) No recovery charges shall be recovered from the petitioner by the respondent authorities. (iv) Till the period prescribed for depositing the aforesaid amount and thereafter during the period of deposit of installments, the recovery proceedings will be kept in abeyance. In case the petitioner defaults in depositing the initial amount or thereafter installments within the stipulated period, it will be open for the respondents to start recovery proceedings against the petitioner. 5. With the aforesaid observations/directions, the writ petition stands disposed of. No order as to costs.
