P1 and P2, revenue recovery proceedings initiated at the instance of the respondent Bank for realising the amount mentioned in Ext.P1. 2. Though several contentions are raised, when the matter was taken up, counsel confined his prayer for an instalment facility to discharge the liability and to avoid coercive action. 3. Having heard the counsel for the petitioner and also the respondents, I feel an instalment facility could be granted so that the petitioner can discharge the liability and at the same time the Bank will also realise the amount that is due. 4. Taking into account the submissions made, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the amount due in terms of Exts. P1 and P2 will be paid by the petitioner in 12 equal monthly instalments, which shall be paid directly to the 1st respondent. The first instalment shall be paid on or before 15/8/2008 and subsequent instalments before 15th of every succeeding month. It is clarified that in case the petitioner commits WPC 22812/08 :2 : default, the Bank will be free to continue the proceedings without further notice. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondents for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
