Dated this the 2nd day of July, 2007. JUDGMENT Since petitioner has settled liability due to KFC under OTS scheme granted pursuant to Ext.P1 judgment and this court in that judgment held that no collection charges should be recovered for payments made voluntarily, this W.P. is disposed of directing the respondents not to recover any collection charges from the petitioner for payments made voluntarily by him. However, if any further steps have to be taken for recovery of interest if payment is not made, then collection charges can be recovered for such amount. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
