Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 18423 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 7th day of July, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges revenue recovery proceedings initiated by respondents 1 to 3 at the instance of the 4th respondent for recovery of defaulted loan amounts. The petitioner only seeks facility to pay off the amounts in instalments. This is opposed by the learned counsel for the bank. However, taking a lenient view, I direct the respondents to permit the petitioner to pay off the balance amount due in 5 equal monthly instalments starting from 1.8.2011. Every subsequent instalment shall be paid on the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the amount on the due dates without default, further coercive recovery proceedings shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default in complying with the above directions or in paying any one instalment, it would open to the respondents to continue proceedings as now initiated without having to issue any fresh notice or proceedings in that regard.
