Mr. Sanjai Singh, learned counsel for respondent-Bank as well as learned Standing Counsel are present. The petition has been filed with a prayer to direct the respondents not to take any coercive measures in respect of the loan taken by the petitioner pursuant to the certificate dated 19.02.2014 issued by concerned official of respondent no.2 regarding remission of debt and further prayer to decide the representation dated 06.08.2023, pending before respondent no.2, within stipulated period. Record shows that the petitioner had taken loan on 15.07.2011 of Rs.48,000/- from respondent no.2 i.e. Bank, for purchasing engine for agricultural purpose. The State Government had issued an order dated 12.12.2012 for remission of debt of the agriculturists. In case, benefit of the aforesaid scheme is given, there is no liability left towards the loan, however, without giving benefit of the aforesaid government order as well as scheme, respondents have proceeded to issue recovery certificate in the year 2014, therefore, representation was given, which is still pending. Learned counsel for respondent-Bank and learned Standing Counsel have no objection to the aforesaid. No useful purpose would be served by keeping this petition pending in view of the order, which the Court proposes to pass hereunder. Considering the facts and circumstance of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this writ petition is finally disposed off with a direction to the respondent no.2 Branch Manager, Uttar Pradesh Sahakari Gram Vikas Bank Ltd., Branch-Kishni, District-Mainpuri to decide the representation of petitioner, which is pending since 2022, in accordance with law, after giving opportunities of hearing to the petitioner, by means of a reasoned and speaking order, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months, from the date of production of a certified copy of this order or information given by learned counsel for respondent-Bank, if there is no legal impediment.
