P2 revenue recovery notice issued for realising the dues under the Kerala Motor Transport Workers Welfare Fund Act. Since against the final determination order, petitioner has not filed any appeal, petitioner is bound to pay the amount in terms of the demand. Since the final determination order has become final, the revenue recovery proceedings initiated also cannot be faulted. In that view of the matter, the objection raised by the petitioner on the merits of the demand are only to be rejected and I do so. 2. Having regard to the financial constraints projected by the learned counsel for the petitioner I direct that the amount shall be permitted to be paid in 6 equal monthly instalments commencing from the 1st week of March, 2008 and the subsequent instalments will be payable in the first week of every succeeding month. Subject W.P.(C) No. 7247 OF 2008 - 2 - to payment as above, proceedings pursuant to Ext. P2 will stand stayed. In case of default, the respondents will be free to continue the action that they have already taken without any further notice. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
