J U D G M E N T Petitioner challenges the revenue recovery proceedings initiated by the Kerala State Financial Enterprises Ltd. for recovery of the amount alleged to be due from the petitioner who is a subscriber in number of chitties conducted by them. When the repayment fell in arrears, revenue recovery proceedings were initiated by the K.S.F.E. Ltd. and disputing the correctness of the amount demanded, this writ petition is filed. 2. As of now, materials on record are not sufficient for adjudicating the amount. However, it is submitted that there is a one time settlement scheme now offered up to 31.5.2008. Since the matter was pending before this court and the writ petition came up for hearing only today, time for availing the benefit of one time settlement facility in the case of the petitioner is extended up to 15.6.2008. If the petitioner makes remittance of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) and files a representation seeking the benefit of one time settlement scheme, such benefits may be extended to him in accordance with law. In case no such payment and WP(C) 15205/2006 :2: representation are made on or before 15.6.2008, petitioner will not be entitled to the benefit of this judgment. Revenue recovery proceedings taken against the petitioner will, therefore, stand deferred and if only there is default in making the payment as stated above, that Revenue Recovery Proceedings be continued. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) knc/-
