BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.C.K.GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.C.No.6431 of 2008 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT In this writ petition, the only contention raised before me is that in Exts.P1 and P3 orders of assessment under the Kerala Building Tax Act, petitioners have not been given the instalment facility. Going by Ext.P1 and Ext.P3, I notice that the orders do not indicate that the amounts can be paid in instalments. In view of this, after hearing the learned Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the amounts that are due in Exts.P1 and P3 shall be permitted to be paid by the petitioners in four equal monthly instalments, the first of which will be payable in the first week of March 2008 and subsequent instalments in the first week of succeeding month. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE csl
