ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P(C) No. 6092 OF 2008 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner purchased an item of property. According to him, it is a vast extent of paddy field, which had an electric connection for pump house, which was not in use. The petitioner alleges in the Writ Petition, without stating any details, that he had requested the Board to dismantle the connection. Under such circumstances, I do not find any ground to interfere with Exts.P1 and P2, on which Ext.P1 was issued after dismantling the supply in question. The Revenue Recovery Proceedings cannot, hence, be averted. Finally the learned counsel for the petitioner confined the submission to a request that the petitioner may be given instalment facility to avoid Revenue Recovery steps. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of allowing the petitioner to remit the entire outstandings in four equal monthly instalments payable on or before the last working day of every month commencing from February 2008. The impugned distress action shall be withheld to WPC No. 6092 OF 2008 2 let the petitioner to remit the outstandings, including accruals as ordered above. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE ttb WPC No. 6092 OF 2008 3
