THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 6000 OF 2009 T -------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th March, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner availed a loan and recovery steps are taken. After arguing the matter for some time, learned counsel for the petitioner sought permission to pay off the entire amount in ten equal monthly instalments. I feel that the petitioner can be permitted to pay off the entire amount in seven equal monthly instalments. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to clear the entire liability in seven equal monthly instalments, the first of which shall be payable on or before 08.04.2009 and the remaining instalments on or before the 8th of every succeeding month. The second respondent will serve a Statement on the petitioner within ten days from today, showing the exact amount of instalments to be paid by the petitioner in terms of this Judgment. If the petitioner defaults in payment of any of the instalments, he will lose the benefit of this Judgment and it will be open to the respondents to proceed WPC.6000/09 T 2 against the petitioner in accordance with law. The recovery steps will be kept in abeyance provided the petitioner pays in accordance with this Judgment. Petitioner need not pay collection charges if further steps have not been taken apart from issuing demand notice. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. // True Copy // PS to Judge
