ADV. SRI.THOMAS MATHEW NELLIMOOTTIL,SC, P.F. FOR R1 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 10645 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 3rd April, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a sick Company, which is finding it difficult to pull on. Proceedings have been initiated against the petitioner for recovery of interest under Section 7Q of the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act by the respondent. The petitioner only seeks a direction to the respondent to permit the petitioner to pay off the amounts demanded by way of interest under Section 7Q in instalments. 2. This is opposed by the learned counsel for the Provident Fund Organisations. However, taking a lenient view, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to permit the petitioner to pay off the amounts due in instalments of Rs.50,000/- each starting from 1-5- 2009. Subsequent instalments shall be paid on the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the amount without default, further steps for coercive recovery shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default in payment of any one instalment, it would open to the respondent to initiate action without having to issue any notice or proceedings on the petitioner.
