On 10.08.2026, the following order is passed; "Petitioner is a borrower having availed financial assistance from respondent No.6 and defaulted on repayment, is before this court seeking an order to restrain respondent No.6 bank from taking any coercive action against the petitioner to recover the loan amount. Learned counsel for the petitioner is absent. Learned counsel for respondent No.6 submits that the respondent No.6 has already initiated proceedings before the Debt Recovery Tribunal in O.A.No.1122 of 2024, and the petitioner herein is contesting and prosecuting the said matter. As proceedings have already been initiated, this Court does not see any reason to entertain the petition of this nature. Since the counsel for the petitioner is absent, in the interest of justice, list the matter on 12.08.2026, subject to payment of cost of ₹10,000/- payable to the High Court Legal Services Committee, High Court of Karnataka, Bengaluru. - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010435712023 NC: 2026:KHC:42759 WP No. 18697 of 2023 It is made clear that if there is no representation, appropriate orders, including dismissal of the petition, will be passed." 2. Learned counsel for the respondent is present. 3. Even today, there is no representation for the petitioner and the cost imposed is also not paid. This clearly shows that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the petition. Hence, the petition is dismissed for non prosecution. Sd/- (M.G.S. KAMAL) JUDGE GH List No.: 1 Sl No.: 12
