Petitioner is permitted to pay off the amount due as tax with additional tax in five equal monthly instalments, the first of which shall be payable on or before 30.11.2008 and the remaining instalments on or before the last working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner does not pay any single instalment, he will lose the benefit of this Judgment and it will be open to the respondents to proceed against the petitioner in accordance with law. It is made clear that this Order will not mean that the petitioner can ply the vehicle without payment of the tax. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Sd/= K. M.
