The learned standing counsel for the Board has filed a statement giving actual facts and figures and the remaining liability of the petitioner, stating that the actual liability as on 30.06.2010 is Rs.5,13,618/- and the OTS benefit intended to be given to the petitioner is Rs.2,40,006/-. As such, the petitioner required to remit the balance Rs.2,73,612/- if the same is effected on or before 30.06.2010 and that the petitioner is also having the liberty to have it satisfied with further prescribed interest till 30.09.2010, which is the last date for availing the benefit of OTS. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is very much ready and willing to satisfy the due amount as above. 3. In the above circumstance, the petitioner is permitted to clear the due amount as mentioned in Annexure I to the statement filed by the 2 WP(C) No. 15864/2010 respondent Board either by clearing the liability as on 30.06.2010 or with further prescribed interest on or before 30.09.2010. Subject to this, the recovery proceedings stated as being pursued against the petitioner shall be kept in abeyance. It is made clear that, if any default is committed by the petitioner in satisfying the liability as above, the respondents will be at liberty to proceed with further steps for realisation of the entire amount in a lump sum. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON JUDGE dnc
