SUDHSA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/07/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 22897 OF 2007 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of July, 2007 JUDGMENT Even though petitioner's contest against recovery proceedings is not tenable, I feel the prayer for instalment facility can be granted. Accordingly, W.P. is disposed of granting 10 equal monthly instalments to the petitioner to clear the arrears with interest, first of which will be paid on or before 25th August, 2007 and the balance on or before 25th of every succeeding months until arrears are cleared. First respondent is directed to give a statement of liability to the petitioner after crediting the payments already made within a period of one week from the date of production of a copy of this judgment by the petitioner. If petitioner commits default in payment of any instalment, the instalment facility will stand automatically cancelled, and respondents will be free to proceed for recovery of entire arrears due. If payments are made voluntarily no collection charges should be recovered. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2
