W.P.(C) No. 13788 OF 2010 ......................................................................... Dated this the 18th May , 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is before this Court, being aggrieved of the coercive steps taken by the respondents for realisation of the amount stated as due under some 'chits'. It is the case of the petitioner that even though there is no dispute with regard to the amount obtained by the petitioner from the respondents, the petitioner could not keep his word and commitment with regard to the liability to satisfy the due amount by effecting necessary installments because of some unforeseen circumstances. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the limited prayer now pressed before this court is to provide some breathing time to clear the liability by way of reasonable installments. 2. Heard the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents as well. 3. Considering the facts and circumstances, and also taking W.P.(C) No. 13788 OF 2010 2 note of the submission made by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner does not intend to press any other legal or factual grounds, the petitioner is permitted to clear the entire liability by way of 2 equal monthly installments, the first of which shall be effected within one month and the balance shall be cleared one month thereafter. Subject to the above, the recovery proceedings stated as being pursued against the petitioner shall be kept in abeyance. It is made clear that if any default is committed in effecting the installments as above, the respondents will be at liberty to proceed with further steps for realisation of the entire amount in a lump sum. The Writ Petition is disposed of. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. lk
