The petitioner does not dispute the liability to pay or the quantum. The petitioner only seeks facility to pay off the amount in instalments. This is opposed by the learned Government Pleader. However, taking a lenient view, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to permit the petitioner to pay off the balance amount due in 10 (ten) equal monthly instalments starting from 01.09.2011. Every subsequent instalment shall be paid on the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the instalments on due dates without default, further proceedings for coercive recovery shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default in W.P.(C)No.20116 of 2011 -2- payment of any one of the instalments, it would be open to the respondents to continue proceedings as now initiated without having to issue any fresh notice or proceedings in that regard.
