Petitioner is aggrieved by the steps initiated under the provisions of the Revenue Recovery Act as evidenced by Ext.P1 and P2 notices for realisation of amounts due to the Official Liquidator in connection with liquidation proceedings of assets of a company, M/s.Sreethilakam Chits and Finance (P) Limited. Prayer of the petitioners is that they may be permitted to make payment of the amount demanded within a reasonable time in installments. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned standing counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent. Eventhough interference on merits is not possible on the issue, considering the limited prayer I am of the opinion that some indulgence can be shown in this case. 3. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to take any coercive steps for realisation of the amounts initiated pursuant to Ext.P1 and P2 notices, if the petitioner remits the amount demanded along with interest if any due, in 10 equal monthly installments starting from 15.10.09 W.P.(C).26888/09 2 and on or before 15th day of every succeeding months. 4. It is made clear that on the event of default in payment of any of the installments respondents will be free to proceed with further steps pursuant to Ext.P1 and P2. C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE. okb
