GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ========================= WRIT PETITION NO. 3976 OF 2008 ========================= Dated this the 5th day of February 2008 JUDGMENT The only relief that is pressed before me is for an instalment facility to pay the amount due, in terms of Ext.P1 demand notice. Ext.P1 has been issued for realising the amount from the petitioner towards building tax in respect of a commercial building. Since the liability is undisputed and as the petitioner seeks only an instalment facility, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the balance amount due, in terms of Ext.P1, will be permitted to be paid by the petitioner in three equal monthly instalments, commencing from the 15th of February 2008. Subsequent instalments will be payable on the 15th of March and April 2008. It is directed that subject to payment as above, coercive steps shall be deferred, and if the petitioner commits default, the respondents will be free to proceed to recover the amount due. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE css/
