SP S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 34543 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 22nd day of December, 2011 J U D G M E N T Respondents 1 to 3 initiated revenue recovery proceedings against the petitioner's property for recovery of loan amounts due from the petitioner to the 4th respondent. The same is under challenge in this writ petition. The petitioner does not dispute the liability to pay or the quantum. The petitioner submits that the petitioner's daughter's marriage is scheduled to be held on 29.1.2012 and the petitioner will pay the amounts due in instalments starting from 1.2.2012. The petitioner seeks instalment facility for the same. 2. This is opposed by the learned Standing Counsel for the bank. 3. However, taking a lenient view, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions; The petitioner shall pay the balance amounts due in ten equal monthly instalments starting from 1.2.2012. Every subsequent instalment shall be paid on the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the instalments on the due dates without default, further proceedings for recovery of the amounts shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default in payment of any of the instalments, it would be open to the respondents to w.p.c.34543/11 - : 2 :- continue proceedings as now initiated without having to issue any fresh notice or proceedings in that regard.
