SRI.JOSE J.MATHEIKEL, SC, KSEB THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/05/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ----------------------------------- WP(C) No. 14683 of 2007 ------------------------- Dated, this the 24th day of May, 2007 J U D G M E N T Prayer in the WP(C) is for grant of installment facility to clear the electricity bills payable for the month of March 2007. Learned counsel submitted that petitioner remitted Rs. 50,000/- in terms of interim order of this Court dated 08/05/2007. Even though learned Standing Counsel for KSEB opposed grant of installment facility for payment of monthly electricity bill, having regard to the financial difficulty expressed by the petitioner, I feel installment facility can be granted to the petitioner on condition of payment of interest. Since this Court has granted installment facility, petitioner is directed to pay interest @ 1 ½ % per month for payment of electricity bills in installments. Petitioner is granted five equal monthly installments to clear the arrears, which will be paid along with monthly bills for the subsequent months commencing from June 2007 onwards. This WP(C) is disposed of as above. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE.) jg
