RAMACHANDRAN NAIR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.20393/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner contends that, her husband who is now no more, had availed of a loan from the first respondent. According to her, the loan availed of was only Rs.1,80,000/-. It is stated that, although she has repaid more than Rs.1 lakh as per Ext.P3 series, still revenue recovery is being continued against her, for more than Rs.7 lakhs. It is in these circumstances, the petitioner submits that, she has filed Ext.P5 representation before the Minister for Revenue and despite that recovery steps are still continued. 2. According to the petitioner, exorbitant amount is sought to be recovered for the reason that the amount paid by her have not been credited in her account. It is stated WP(c).No.20393/2008 2 that once the correct amount is intimated to her, she is prepared to discharge the liability by paying that amount. 3. Heard the standing counsel for the respondent also. From the facts as submitted before me, it is obvious that the apprehension entertained by the petitioner that the amount paid by her towards the liability of her deceased husband have not been given credit, cannot be said to be totally baseless. This is certainly a matter for the respondent to verify and confirm and once such a verification is completed, the respondents shall intimate the petitioner the exact extent of her liability. In view of the above facts, I dispose of this writ petition with the following direction. 4. That the second respondent shall verify the accounts of the petitioner and after quantifying her exact liability giving credit to the amounts already paid shall intimate the petitioner the exact amount that is due from her. this shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 2 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Once the WP(c).No.20393/2008 3 liability is intimated to the petitioner as above, the petitioner shall repay the amount that is due to respondents 1 and 2. It is directed that such repayment shall be made within 4 weeks from the date of receipt of the statement from the second respondent. it is also directed that in the meanwhile proceedings further to Ext.P2 revenue recovery notice shall be kept in abeyance. Petitioner shall immediately on receipt of a copy of this judgment produce a copy before the 2nd respondent for compliance. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE vi.
