KURIAN JOSEPH, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.29472 OF 2005 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of October, 2008. J U D G M E N T Sri.A.Jayasankar, Standing Counsel, takes notice for Kerala State Housing Board. Petitioner is aggrieved by the steps taken by the Housing Board in the matter of recovery of the liability by way of enhancement in land acquisition compensation. It is fairly clear from the counter affidavit that what is levied is only actual amount due and there is no penal interest. Therefore, there is no merit in the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks for payment of the dues in installments. Petitioner may make a request before the first respondent, in which case, the first respondent will permit the petitioner to remit the dues in affordable installments.
