THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: VK C.K. ABDUL REHIM, J ------------------------------- WP(C) NO. 32230 OF 2010 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of December, 2010 JUDGMENT This Writ Petition was filed challenging the revenue recovery steps initiated for realising amounts due to the respondents under a housing loan account, which was availed by the petitioner. Eventhough various contentions are raised in this Writ Petition, I do not find any legally tenable ground to assail the proceedings. However, as a gesture of indulgence, coercive steps of recovery was directed to be kept in abeyance subject to condition of the petitioner remitting a sum of Rs.3 lakhs within three weeks from 21.10.2010. Subsequently the petitioner had filed an application seeking extension of time for compliance of the condition stipulated, on the basis that he could pay only an amount of Rs.50,000/- within the time. This Court was inclined to extent the time stipulated for payment, till 20.12.2010. Today when the matter was taken up it is submitted that the 2 WP(C) No. 32230/2010 petitioner could not comply with the condition. 2. Under the above circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition any further. However, it is made clear that the petitioner will be at liberty to approach the respondents seeking permission for payment of the balance amount in a phased manner or seeking waiver of amounts due and to effect 'One Time Settlement'. If any such approach is made respondents will be at liberty to consider such request untrammeled by dismissal of this Writ Petition. C.K. ABDUL REHIM JUDGE dnc
