Respondents 1 to 3 are directed to withhold all proceedings of recovery including petitioner’s arrest, for payment as above. However if default is committed in making payment of any of the installments, the installment facility granted will stand automatically vacated on first default and respondents are free to proceed for recovery. Since the business is closed and considering the financial difficulties of the petitioner, interest is reduced to 12% per annum, if payment is made as above. If the petitioner does not made payment as above, interest at the statutory rate will be recovered. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE.) jg
