G0VERNMENT PLEADER SRI.MATHEW GEORGE VADAKKEL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON, J -------------------------------------------- WP(C) NO. 19523 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner who is running a Small Scale Industrial Unit had availed a margin money loan from the Government of Kerala and the facility was made available through the 2nd respondent. However, repayment could not be effected on time, because of some unforeseen circumstances and the respondents proceeded with further steps to realise the due amount, resorting to the remedy under the Kerala Revenue Recovery Act as borne by Ext.P1 notice. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the only relief now pressed before this Court is to permit the petitioner to wipe off the liability in a phased manner, by way of reasonable instalments. 3. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well. 4. Considering the facts and circumstances, the petitioner is directed to clear the entire liability by way of 'six' equal monthly instalments, the first of which shall be effected on or before the 15th of July, 2010, to be followed by similar instalments to be effected on or before the 15th of the succeeding months. Subject to this, the recovery proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1 shall be kept in abeyance. It is made clear that, if any default is committed by the petitioner in satisfying the liability as 2 WP(C) No. 19523/2010 above, the respondents will be at liberty to proceed with further steps for realisation of the entire amount in a lump sum, by pursuing such steps from the stage where it stands now. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON JUDGE dnc
