P3, P4 and P5 revenue recovery proceedings initiated against the petitioners. Though several contentions on the merits have been raised in the writ petition, when the case was taken up, the prayer made was confined to an instalment facility to discharge the liability in terms of the revenue recovery proceedings as mentioned above. 2. I heard the Standing Counsel for the 2nd respondent also. 3. Having regard to the fact that the liability now stands undisputed and that the petitioners want only an instalment facility to discharge the liability due to the 2nd respondent for which revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: 1. That the petitioners will pay the amount that is sought to be recovered by Exts. P3, P4 and P5 in 12 equal monthly instalments. WPC 37791/07 2 2. The first instalment will be payable in the 1st week of January, 2008 and the subsequent instalments in the first week of every succeeding month. Subject to payment as above, further proceedings pursuant to Exts. P3, P4 and P5 will stand deferred. It is made clear that if the petitioners commit default in any one of the instalments, the respondents will be free to continue the revenue recovery action. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
