                  WP(C).NO. 4589                  OF 2009
                    ............................................
     DATED THIS THE           11 TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2009

                                JUDGMENT

Petitioners availed a loan from the first respondent and

defaulted in repayment. On 26.10.2006, Ext.P1 notice under Section

13(2) of the SARFAESI Act was issued, showing an outstanding of

Rs.5,17,474/- as on 31.7.2006. It is quite surprising that no action was

taken thereafter until the issuance of the possession notice on

25.9.2008, though not a paise was paid even after Section 13(2)

notice. On 14.1.2009, the property was advertised for sale to be held

on 19.2.2009. Today, on 11.2.2009, the petitioners seek indulgence of

this court. They have not initiated proceedings before the Debt

Recovery Tribunal under the SARFAESI Act. The impugned

proceedings has been final. I find no ground to interfere with the

impugned proceedings. Yet, as a last opportunity, if petitioners

deposit an amount of Rs.4,00,000/-, at or before the time fixed for sale

in Ext.P4, the impugned sale will be deferred till 25.3.2008, granting

an opportunity to the petitioners to pay off the remaining amounts

also.
