P (C) No. 26642 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 4th September, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner has been found liable to pay contributions under the Motor Transport Workers' Welfare Fund Act and Motor Vehicles Tax. By Ext. P1 notice under the Revenue Recovery Act, coercive proceedings have been initiated for recovery of the same. The petitioner challenges Ext. P1 order. However, the petitioner only wants instalment facility to pay the amounts demanded as per Ext. P1. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned standing counsel as well as learned Government Pleader. Having heard both sides, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to permit the petitioner to pay off the amounts demanded as per Ext. P1 in ten equal monthly instalments starting from 15-9- 2008. Every subsequent instalment shall be paid on the first working day after 14th of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the instalments in time without default, further coercive proceedings pursuant to Ext. P1 shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default in payment of any one instalment, it would be open to the respondents to continue proceedings as initiated by Ext. P1 without having to issue any fresh notice or proceedings in that regard. The payment shall be made to the 1st respondent. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
