NO. 23716 OF 2008 W -------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th August, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Exts.P1 and P2 revenue recovery notices. Counsel for petitioner submits that the petitioner may be given time to pay off the amount due under Exts.P1 and P2. I heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent Board and also the learned Government Pleader. Exts.P1 and P2 are issued for recovery of the amount due to the Electricity Board. Counsel for petitioner submits that the petitioner proposes to sell the property and raise the amount for paying off the amount due under Exts.P1 and P2. Having regard to the facts, Exts.P1 and P2 will be kept in abeyance for a period of four months from today. However, I make it clear that if the petitioner does not pay the amount within four months from today, it will be open to the respondents to proceed against the petitioner. I further make it clear that the petitioner will necessarily have to pay interest which will accrue. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Sd/= K. M.
