Learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute the amount which is sought to be recovered from him.
Admittedly, the petitioner took loan from the respondent-Bank concerned out of which petitioner has not paid substantial amount. Petitioner submits that he is ready to deposit whole of the amount in easy installment. Learned counsel for the Bank states that the anxiety of the Bank is that the amount should be recovered back.
Accordingly this petition is disposed of with the following directions:
(i) Petitioner may deposit the entire amount sought to be recovered directly in concerned Bank in six equal six monthly installments.
(ii) The first installment shall be deposited by 15.5.2018 and the rest of installments shall be deposited at interval of six months thereafter. These deposits shall be made before the Branch of the Bank from where the loan was taken.
(iii) Recovery proceedings during this period will be kept in abeyance. In case petitioner commits default in depositing any of the installments within the above stipulated time, it will be open to the respondents to start the recovery proceedings again by taking coercive process to which the petitioner undertake not to challenge.
(iv) Petitioner may file an application for supply of statement of account along with the duly stamped self addressed envelope.

(v) Property (agricultural land/tractor) belonging to the petitioner, if attached, in connection with recovery proceedings, will be released by the concerned Tehsil authority (unless it has been auctioned) after deposit of first installment and further as soon as the first installment is paid, the property (agricultural land/tractor) of the petitioner shall also be released.
(vi) In case all the installments are deposited as per the schedule fixed in this order, the recovery of the collection charges would remain in abeyance till such time the Collector decides the application that may be filed by the petitioner for determining collection charges/fee as per the legal provisions and also taking into consideration the Full Bench decision of this Court in the case of Maharajwa and others versus State of U.P. and others, reported in 2013(1) ADJ 426 (FB). Upon determination of collection charges/fee the Collector will communicate the same to the petitioner and upon communication of the same it would be open to the petitioner to either deposit the same within a period of 30 days or if not satisfied with the same may assail the order of the Collector in appropriate proceedings.
