Exts.P4 to P7 are the notices which show that more than Rs.5 lakhs is thus due. 2. In this writ petition, though the petitioner has raised several contentions, when the matter was taken up for hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner confined his request to one of instalment facility. 3. Having heard the submissions made above, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition allowing an instalment facility to discharge the liability. 4. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the petitioner is permitted to discharge the liability, for realisation of which Exts.P4 to P7 have been issued, in four equal monthly instalments. The 1st instalment will be payable on or before 30th of WP(C) 11229/08 Page numbers April, 2008 and the subsequent instalments will be payable on or before the 30th of every succeeding months. Subject to payment as above, further proceedings pursuant to Exts.P4 to P7 will stand stayed and if the petitioner commits default in paying any one of the instalments, the authorities will be free to continue the proceedings.
