J U D G M E N T The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner does not intend to press any of the grounds raised in the Writ Petition and that the only relief now prayed for is to direct the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for extending the benefit of 'One Time Settlement'. 2. The learned standing counsel for the respondents submits on instruction that the petitioner had already applied for the benefit of 'One Time Settlement' for the year 2008 and the same was extended to him. However, the petitioner did not choose to satisfy the condition as prescribed under the Scheme and this being the position, the averments and allegations raised in the Writ Petition are devoid of any merits. However, the learned counsel further submits that the benefit extended to the petitioner can be revived and the petitioner can be permitted to clear the entire liability under the 'One Time Settlement', if the petitioner satisfies the said amount with belated interest. W.P(C) No.8645 of 2010-E 2 In the above circumstances, the petitioner may approach the respondents for availing the benefit of 'One Time Settlement' as aforesaid. No further orders are warranted in the Writ Petition, which accordingly is closed. P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON JUDGE ab
