I heard learned counsel for petitioner and learned Government Pleader. Writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to pay vehicle tax with additional tax in four equal monthly instalments. The first instalment shall be paid on or before 15.11.2008 and the further instalments shall be paid on or before the 15th day of the succeeding months. If the petitioner makes default in a single instalment, the petitioner will lose the benefit of this judgment and it will be open to the respondents to proceed against the petitioner in accordance with law. It is made clear that this should not be understood as meaning that the petitioner can ply the vehicle without payment of tax. (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks
