SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.25457 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of September, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved by the revenue recovery proceedings initiated by the respondents for recovery of loan amounts due from the petitioner to the Kerala State Housing Board. The petitioner only seeks facility to pay off the amount in instalments. 2. This is opposed by the counsel for the Housing Board. Having heard both sides, taking a lenient view, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to permit the petitioner to pay off the balance amount due in fifteen equal monthly instalments starting from 01.11.2011. Every subsequent instalment shall be paid on the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the instalments on due dates without default, further proceedings under the Act shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default W.P.(C)No.25457/11 2 in payment of any one of the instalments, it would be open to the respondents to continue proceedings as now initiated without having to issue any fresh notice or proceedings in that regard.
