NO. 34093 OF 2008 H -------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd January, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioners seek to challenge Exts.P5 and P6 which are issued to realise arrears under the Kerala Toddy Workers' Welfare Fund Act. 2. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, learned standing counsel appearing on behalf of the first respondent and also the learned Government Pleader. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners may be given time to pay the amount in five instalments. I feel that this request is reasonable and the Writ Petition is disposed of permitting the petitioners to pay the entire amount due as per Exts.P5 and P6 with subsequent interest in five equal monthly instalments. The first respondent will serve a Statement on the petitioners within two weeks from today fixing the exact amount of instalments payable in terms of this Judgment. The petitioners are to pay the first instalment on or before 15.02.2009 and the remaining WPC.34093/08 H 2 instalments on or before the 15th of every succeeding month. If the petitioners do not pay any of the instalments, they will lose the benefit of this Judgment and it will be open to the respondents to proceed against the petitioners in accordance with law.
