BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.C. NO. 10486 OF 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 28th day of March, 2008. J U D G M E N T This writ petition is preferred with a prayer to call for the records relating to Ext.P1 and direct the Subordinate Judge, Kottayam to grant extension for payment of balance Court fee of Rs.1,26,245/- for a period of two months, at any rate to pay the same on reopening of the Court after summer vacation. 2. The apprehension of the learned counsel for the writ petitioner is that the Court has orally stated that it will not grant more than 15 days time and in case of failure it will reject the plaint for non payment of the Court fee. The amount of Court fee to be paid is Rs.1,26,245/- and when there is difficulty expressed the Court is to consider the reality and pass appropriate orders. It goes without saying that the Court has the power to extend the time for payment of Court fee even after the expiry of 30 days under the W.P.C 10486 OF 2008 -:2:- provisions of the CPC. I am informed that an application is filed for extension of time and I direct the Court below to consider it sympathetically and grant time at least till the reopening of the Court after holidays and then pass appropriate orders. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
