Amount is due under the Kerala Cashew Workers Relief and Welfare Fund Scheme. It is stated that the petitioner was paying regularly. But due to the financial crisis he could not repay the amount. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the second respondent. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks some time to pay off the amount. 4. I feel that the petitioner can be permitted to pay off the amount in five equal monthly instalments. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of as follows: Petitioner is permitted to pay off the entire amount due as per Exts.P3 and P5 with due interest in five equal monthly instalments, the first of which shall be payable on or before 15.2.2009 and the further instalments on or before the 15th of the succeeding months. The second respondent will serve a statement on the petitioner within two weeks from today showing WPC.2053/2009. 2 the exact amount of instalment to be paid by the petitioner in terms of this judgment. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner that there is no attachment as such and it is ordered that the petitioner need not pay any collection charges. If the petitioner does not pay any single instalment, the petitioner will lose the benefit of this judgment and it will be open to the respondents to proceed with recovery. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb
