RAMAN, J. ============= W.P.(C) NO. 7859 OF 2006 =================== DATED THIS, THE 8TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2007 J U D G M E N T The only prayer made in this writ petition is to enable the petitioner to pay the sales tax amount by allowing him to pay the same by easy installments. This court by order dated 16.3.2006 allowed the petitioner to wipe off the entire amount in six installments first of which fell due on 31.3.2006. Petitioner, though paid five installments, last of such installments could not be paid. He has filed I.A. 16471/2006 for a direction to the respondent not to insist for payment of the last installment. This prayer is contrary to the direction issued by this Court and hence cannot be granted. However, the time for payment of the last instalment is extended by one month. In case the petitioner fails to pay the same within time, he will loose the benefit of the order passed by this Court. the writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. knc/-
