Dated this the 19th January, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is mainly aggrieved of Ext.P1 demand notice issued by the second respondent, invoking the relevant provisions under the Revenue Recovery Act seeking to realise the amount stated as due from the petitioner in respect of the loan transaction availed from the first respondent Bank. 2. The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that Ext.P2 representation preferred before the first respondent seeking for installment facility has not been acted upon, under which circumstance, the petitioner was constrained to approach this Court by filing this Writ Petition. 3. Heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent Bank as well. 4. Considering the limited prayer made by the petitioner, expressing his willingness to clear the entire liability if some breathing time is provided in this regard, this Court directs the petitioner to clear the entire liability as shown in Ext.P1 with further interest and cost, if any, by way of five equal monthly W.P.(C) No. 1319 OF 2010 2 installments, the first of which shall be effected on or before 10th February 2010 to be followed by similar installments to be effected on or before the 10th of the succeeding months. Subject to the above, the revenue recovery proceedings stated as being pursued against the petitioner as borne by Ext. P1 shall be kept in abeyance. It is also made clear that if the petitioner commits any default in effecting the installments as above, the respondents will be at liberty to proceed with further steps from the stage where it stands now, for realisation of the entire amount in a lump sum. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. lk
