By this order, stay has been granted on condition that the writ petitioner remits 50% of the amount due and furnishes security for the balance amount. On going through the impugned order, I do not find any perversity in the discretionary power exercised by the appellate authority. The writ petition lacks merit and it is dismissed. However, time for payment in terms of Exhibit-P10 will stand extended by three weeks from today. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) ma K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A. NO.92 OF 1999 ORDER 25th May, 2007
