Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 31437 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 30th day of November, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is challenging revenue recovery proceedings initiated by the respondents for recovery of defaulted loan amounts. The petitioner does not dispute the liability or quantum. The petitioner only seeks a facility to pay the amounts in instalments. This is opposed by the counsel for the bank. However, taking a lenient view, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: The petitioner shall pay the amounts demanded in 10 equal monthly instalments starting from 2.1.2012. Every subsequent instalment shall be paid on the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the amounts on the due dates without default, further coercive recovery proceedings shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default in complying with the above directions or in paying any one instalment, it would be open to the respondents to continue proceedings as now initiated without having to issue any fresh notice or proceedings in that regard.
