STATE BANK OF TRAVANCORE, NILESWARAM BRANCH, NILESWARAM P.O., KASARGODE DISTRICT. 2. THE SPECIAL DEPUTY TAHASILDAR (RR), HOSDURG, KASARGODE. SRI.T.SETHUMADHAVAN, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 8570 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 18th day of March, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a defaulter to the 1st respondent Bank, the liability of which is not disputed. He is now faced with recovery proceedings and Exts.P1 and P2 are the revenue recovery notices issued. 2. Though in the writ petition challenge has been raised against Ext.P1, counsel for the petitioner only requests that the petitioner be permitted to pay the amount in instalments. 3. Although the standing counsel for the Bank has raised objections, having regard to the willingness now expressed by the petitioner to pay the amount, I feel it is only reasonable that the petitioner should be afforded an opportunity to discharge the dues. 4. Therefore, I direct that, the amount due from the petitioner for which recovery proceedings have been initiated by Exts.P1 and P2 shall be permitted to be paid by the petitioner in six equal monthly instalments. Towards the first instalment, petitioner shall pay an amount of `10,000 (Rupees ten thousand WPC No. 8570/11 :2 : only) before 31/3/2011 and the balance amount due shall be paid by the petitioner on or before 30th of every succeeding month without default. Subject to payment as above, further proceedings pursuant to Exts.P1 and P2 will stand stayed and if default is committed, the Bank will be free to continue the recovery proceedings. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
