SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.17555 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of July, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a defaulter in repayment of loan amounts taken from the Kerala State Housing Board. Revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated by the Bord. That is under challenge in this writ petition. But, the petitioner only seeks benefits of One Time Settlement Scheme. 2. The learned Standing Counsel for the Board submits that the total amount due from the petitioner is Rs.18,78,240/-. The benefit of One Time Settlement Scheme is available till 30.9.2011. According to him, as per the Scheme, the petitioner is liable to pay Rs.12,30,000/- on or before 30.9.2011. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to pay off the amount of Rs.12,30,000/- as per the One Time Settlement Scheme in instalments on or before 30.9.2011. If the petitioner does not avail of the benefit, it is open to the respondents to recover the full amount from the petitioner without giving the benefit of OTS Scheme. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd
