Even though several contentions are raised, the only relief that is prayed before me is for permitting the petitioner to discharge the liability in instalments. 3. I heard the standing counsel for the respondents also. 4. Going by Ext.P1 final determination order, the liability is shown as Rs.37,756/-. Taking into account the financial constraints that is expressed before me, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the petitioner will pay the amount in terms of Ext.P1 in six equal monthly instalments, the first of which is payable in the first week of January 2008 and the subsequent instalments will be payable in the first week of the succeeding months. Subject to payment as above, coercive action for recovery of the amount in WP(C) 36847/2007 Page numbers terms of Ext.P1 will stand dropped. Needless to say that in case the petitioner commits default in paying the amount as above, the respondents will be free to recover the amount in a lump. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
