BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.C.K.GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 8784 OF 2008 U ==================== Dated this the 14th day of March, 2008 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P5, an order of conditional stay granted by the 2nd respondent. Having gone through Ext.P5 and the contentions raised, I do not find any perversity in the order passed. Therefore, Ext.P5 is only to be upheld and I do so. However, counsel for the petitioner submits that in view of the financial constraints, petitioner may be permitted to pay the amount in instalments. 2. I heard the learned Government Pleader on this. 3. Taking into account the submissions made by both sides, I direct that the amount ordered to be paid in Ext.P5 shall be remitted by the petitioner in two equal instalments, the first of which will be paid before 31/3/2008 and the second one before 15/4/2008. It is also directed that the security ordered to be furnished shall be furnished before 31/3/2008. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
