The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the respondent Tamil Nadu Electricity Board has demanded a sum of Rs.3,33,350/-, as additional fixed deposit, from the petitioner, without furnishing the necessary details. Since the petitioner is not in a position to pay the said deposit, due to certain financial difficulties, he had sent a representation, dated, 11.02.2010, to the third respondent, stating that he is willing to pay the entire amount of Rs.3,33,350/-, in ten installments. 3. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents had submitted that the petitioner may be permitted to deposit the additional fixed deposit, in five monthly installments, starting from 01.03.2010. 4. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the parties concerned, the petitioner is permitted to deposit the amount of Rs.3,33,350/-, before the third respondent, in five equal monthly installments, starting from 01.03.2010. The petitioner is to deposit the installments before the third respondent on the first of every following month. If the petitioner fails to deposit any one of the installments, the entire balance amount of the additional fixed deposit, demanded by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board, will fall due and it will be open to the respondents to take appropriate action against the petitioner, as per law. With the above directions, this Writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
