(Oral) Delay condoned. 2. The petitioners filed the writ petition challenging the order refusing One Time Settlement (for short 'OTS') benefit to them. During the pendency of the writ petition, OTS benefits were granted and the learned Single Judge granted time till 30.3.2006 to avail the benefit. The said judgment was challenged in W.A.No.701 of 2006. The Writ Appeal was dismissed by judgment dated 16.11.2006. 3. It is contended in this review petition that while dismissing the Writ Appeal this Court by an inadvertent omission did not extend the time for payment of the balance amount under the OTS Scheme and prays that the time for payment of the balance amount be extended. RP.51/2007 in WA.701/2006 - 2 - 4. Heard the parties. 5. In the facts and circumstances of the case and taking into consideration the fact that the learned Single Judge has already granted the benefit of OTS Scheme and the Writ Appeal was pending, it is only appropriate that some time is granted to the review petitioners for payment of the balance amount under the OTS Scheme. Accordingly, we extend the time for payment of whatever remaining balance under the OTS Scheme to be paid within a period of four months from today and in case of failure, it will be open to the authorities to proceed to recover the amount in accordance with law, in which event the petitioners will lose the benefit conferred by the OTS Scheme. The Review Petition is disposed of as indicated above. V.K.Bali Chief Justice P.R.Raman Judge vku/-
