However, it is submitted that the One Time Settlement facilities, available under Circular No.59/2006 dated 30.11.2006, may be directed to extend him. 4. In the above facts situation, I direct the writ petitioner to file a representation before the first respondent, requesting for an One Time Settlement within W.P.(C).2950/2007 2 two weeks from today. On receipt of the same, the first respondent shall hear the petitioner and fix the amount due, relying on the provisions contained in Circular No.59/2006 dated 30.11.2006. The petitioner shall pay the amount due to the first respondent, as per the order so passed and communicated to him. 5.
