               Dated, this the 21st day of May, 2009

                          J U D G M E N T

The prayer sought in this writ petition is to direct the 1st

respondent to consider Ext.P2, an application made by the

petitioner for extending the benefit of One Time Settlement Scheme,

which according to the petitioner, is still in force.

2. The learned standing counsel appearing for the 1st

respondent, on instructions, submits that at present, they have no

such scheme, and that however, Ext.P2 can be considered in terms

of the guidelines, which are now being followed by the Bank.

3. If as stated by the learned standing counsel for the 1st

respondent, there is no One Time Settlement Scheme presently in

force, this Court will not be justified in directing extension of the

benefit of such a now existing scheme. However, having regard to

the pendency of Ext.P2 filed by the petitioner, it is directed that the

1st respondent shall consider the same in the light of the guidelines,

if any presently followed by the Bank. This shall be done as

WP(C) No.13637/2009
-2-

expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of

production of a copy of this judgment.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
