Ext.P4 is an order passed by the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Idukki. Though the petitioner challenges Ext.P4, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner may be given 1-1/2 years' time to pay off the amount to the second respondent. He also seeks instalment facility. Having considered the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that recovery proceedings against the petitioner will be kept in abeyance on condition that the petitioner pays off the entire amount due with interest in eight equal monthly instalments, the first of which shall be payable on or before 20.1.2009 and the remaining instalments on or before the 20th of every succeeding month. If the petitioner commits default in WPC.34334/08 K 2 payment of any single instalment, petitioner will lose the benefit of this judgment and it will be open to the respondents to proceed against the petitioner in accordance with law.
