GOPINATHAMENON THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.21720/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT Exts.P2 and P3 revenue recovery notices issued at the instance of the respondent Bank, for realising the dues of the petitioner are under challenge. Admittedly two loans have been availed of and default has been committed. In this writ petition, though several contentions have been urged, when the matter was taken up for admission, learned counsel for the petitioner confined his prayer for an instalment facility to discharge the dues to the Bank. 2. In view of the limited nature of the relief that is sought for, I heard the counsel for the respondent bank also in this matter. Having regard to the submissions I feel that, an opportunity should be extended to him to avoid coercive action as proposed in Exts.P2 and P3. WP(c).No.21720/2008 2 3. Therefore the writ petition is disposed of directing that the petitioner shall pay the amount due to the Bank in six equal monthly instalments, the first of which shall be paid on or before 29.8.2008. Subsequent instalments shall be paid on or before 29th of every succeeding month. It is clarified that in case the petitioner commits any default in paying any of the instalments, it will be open to the respondent to continue the proceedings without further notice.
