Thus, the prayer challenging the e-auction sale notice under Annexure-1 has become infructuous. He, however, submits that the Petitioner is keen to settle the loan account under the One Time Settlement (OTS) Scheme. 4. In view of the above, this Court without delving into the merits of the case of the Petitioner, disposes of the writ petition with an observation that the Petitioner, if so advised, may approach the Bank, in accordance with law, by making a proposal for settlement of the outstanding loan dues under the OTS Scheme. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application. (K.R. Mohapatra) Judge (Mruganka Sekhar Sahoo) ms Judge Page 2 of 2
