SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.A. NO:1626 OF 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th September, 2010. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. The only prayer in the writ appeal is for extension of time by one week for payment of the amount under O.T Scheme in terms of the judgment. Admittedly appellant is entitled to the OTS benefit and the learned Single Judge granted the benefit. Counsel for the appellant produced copy of the communication from the Housing Board which shows that balance amount due under OTS Scheme is Rs.56,786/- (Rupees fifty six thousand seven hundred eighty six only). Even though counsel for Housing Board submitted that last date for payment under O.T Scheme is 30/9/2010, we do not find any ground to decline the appellant's request for further one week for payment. 2. Writ appeal is accordingly disposed of modifying the judgment by extending the time for payment till 8/10/2010. If payment is not made on or before 8/10/2010 the Housing Board is free to recall the OTS benefit granted to the respondent and proceed to recover balance arrears. Hand over.
