JUDGMENT Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner quite in extenso on the merits of the case, I do not find that the impugned proceedings are vitiated on account of jurisdictional error or legal infirmity. The learned counsel for the petitioner requests for an opportunity for his client to pay the outstandings in instalments and avert the recovery proceedings. Under the aforesaid circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing that if the petitioner deposits Rs.25,000/- on or before 20-12- 2008 and remits the remaining balance in six equal monthly instalments, payable on or before the last working day of every month, commencing from March, 2008, the impugned recovery proceedings shall stand -:2:- dropped. Petitioner shall wipe off the entire outstandings, including accruals. If the petitioner fails to deposit any of the instalments as aforesaid, the benefit of this judgment will stand recalled automatically and the respondents will be at liberty to forthwith proceed with distress action. 0 Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. sl.
