I heard the learned Government Pleader also in this matter. 3. Taking into account the submission made by both sides, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the amount due from the petitioner in terms of Ext.P1 revenue recovery notice shall be paid by the petitioner in six equal monthly instalments, the first of which will be paid on 1.1.2008 and the subsequent instalments payable on the 1st of every succeeding month. Subject to payment as above, coercive action now taken against the petitioner shall be deferred. Needless to say that if any default is committed in paying the instalments, the respondents will be free to proceed with the revenue recovery proceedings. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/- Page numbers
