I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for the respondent Board. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that, petitioner has paid a sum of Rs.1,98,031/- pursuant to the order of this court. It is referred to in Ext.P3 order also, he submits. He further submits that petitioner may be permitted to pay off the amount due in 10 instalments. I feel that the request of the petitioner can be granted. Of course, petitioner will have to pay due interest. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of as follows. Proceedings pursuant to Exts.P3 and P4 will be kept in abeyance on condition that the petitioner pays the entire amount due after giving credit to the amount paid by it, with due interest in 10 equal monthly instalments. The first instalment shall be paid on or before 15.4.2009 and the further instalments shall be paid on or before the 15th day of WPC No.10522/2009 -2- every succeeding month. Should the petitioner default in payment of any single instalment, petitioner will lose the benefit of this judgment and respondent is free to proceed against the petitioner in accordance with law.
