The loan was availed of in 1997 and admittedly default was committed and that resulted in Exts. P1 and P2 revenue recovery proceedings. It is challenging these notices, this writ petition has been filed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is not disputing the liability or the quantum, but is only seeking an instalment facility to discharge the liability. 2. I heard the standing counsel, who entered appearance on notice as well. 3. Since the petitioner is desirous of discharging the liability and is only seeking an instalment facility to avoid coercive action against his property, I feel he should be given a chance to liquidate the debt. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition with the direction that the petitioner shall pay the amount due in ten equal monthly instalments. The first instalment shall be paid on or before 29/8/2008 and the subsequent instalments shall be paid before 29th of every succeeding month. Subject WPC 24653/08 :2 : to payment as above, Exts. P1 and P2 will be kept in abeyance and in case any default is committed by the petitioner, it will be open to the respondents to continue the proceedings without further notice to the petitioner.
