KURIAN JOSEPH , J ================================== W.P.(C) NO. 1588 OF 2004 ================================== Dated this the 11th day of July, 2007. JUDGMENT The petitioner approached this Court with certain grievances regarding dues payable to the Kerala Motor Transport Workers Welfare Fund. It is seen that the petitioner has pursued grievances before the executive authority as well as in an appeal before the Government. The Government has passed Ext.P2 detailed order declining grant any relief to the petitioner. It has been found that on merits the petitioner does not have a case. Faced with such a situation it is submitted that the petitioner may be permitted to pay the dues at least in instalments. The writ petition is disposed of making it clear that the petitioner shall be permitted to clear the disputed dues as in Ext.P3 in 7 equal instalments starting from the month of August 2007 KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. rv
