Make out an application with the details of principal and interest paid so far and request the bank to suggest an amount for one time settlement. If no reply is received from the bank, take up the matter through Banking Ombudsman situate in your area.
As the banks usually say that they are following RBI guidelines regarding charging of interest, it is hard to drag them into court or any other forum.

Initiating proceeding under Provincial Insolvency Act is another option.
