NO. 3852 OF 2009 H -------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th February, 2009 JUDGMENT The only prayer is to permit the petitioner to pay off the entire amount in ten equal monthly instalments. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel appearing for the first respondent, besides the learned Government Pleader. I feel that the petitioner can be given the said benefit. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to pay off the amount due with due interest in ten equal monthly instalments, the first of which shall be payable on or before 1.3.2009 and the remaining instalments on or before the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner does not pay any of the instalments, he will lose the benefit of this Judgment and the respondents will be free to proceed against the petitioner in accordance with law. It is also made clear that, if only notices under Sections 7 and 34 are issued under the Revenue Recovery Act, petitioner need not pay WPC.3852/09 H 2 the collection charges. Otherwise, the petitioner is liable to pay the collection charges also. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. // True Copy // PS to Judge
