However, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that subsequent to the filing of this writ petition, Revenue Recovery authorities have issued a fresh notice for Rs.1,71,131/-. Counsel also submits that in view of the financial constraints of the petitioner, he be allowed to pay the amount in instalments. 2. I heard the learned Government Pleader also in the matter. 3. Taking into account the submissions that are made by both sides, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the petitioner shall pay the amount due in two equal instalments. The first instalment will be payable on 20th W.P.(C).35584/2007 2 December, 2007 and second instalment on 20th of January, 2008. Subject to payment as above, the revenue recovery proceedings initiated against the petitioner shall be deferred. ANTONY DOMINIC Judge mrcs
