The petitioner does not dispute the liability to pay or the quantum. The petitioner only seeks facility to pay off the amounts in instalments. This is opposed by the counsel for the bank. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: The petitioner shall pay an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- within 2 weeks from today. The balance amount shall be paid in 10 equal monthly instalments starting from 01/02/2012. Every subsequent instalment shall be paid on the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the initial amount and instalments on due dates, further proceedings under the Act shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default in payment of either Rs.1,00,000/- or any of the subsequent instalments, it would be open to the first respondent to continue proceedings as now initiated without having to issue any fresh notice or proceedings in that regard.
