PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P. (C) No. 1314 OF 2008 - F = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 10th January, 2008 J U D G M E N T Revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated against the petitioner and that is under challenge. Pleadings disclose that the petitioner was one of the respondents in M.A.C.T. claim in which an award was passed making the petitioner and other respondents jointly and severally liable. It is in pursuance to award the revenue recovery steps have been taken. Petitioner contends that he is willing to deposit his share. In my view, so long as he is also jointly and severally liable the respondents are at liberty to realise the amount any of the persons who are liable to pay. If that be so, steps taken by the respondents against the petitioner cannot be faulted. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
