JUDGMENT Petitioner subscribed to a chit conducted by the 3rd respondent. After having prized the chit, he received the prize amount. Apparently, as a security for receipt of the said amount, four persons, who posed themselves as Government employees, gave their salary certificates and with their aid, the petitioner received part of the prize amount. Apparently, there was default in repayment of the amount which was received. Revenue recovery steps were, therefore, initiated by the Kerala State Financial Enterprises. 2. Exts.P6 and P6(a) are notices of attachment of the movables under the Revenue Recovery Act. Petitioner now seeks settlement of the dues and has filed Ext.P8 for that purpose before the 2nd respondent. 3. I heard learned standing counsel for the 2nd respondent. He submits that after considering W.P.(C).NO.36475/07 :: 2 :: Ext.P8, as stated in the recovery notice, there is a proposal for sale of the attached property as per Ext.P7. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to hear the petitioner and pass an order fixing a repayment schedule. This shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Enforcement of Ext.P7 shall be kept in abeyance, provided the petitioner remits Rs.50,000/- with four weeks from today. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
