W.P.(C) No.16557 of 2005 .................................................................... Dated this the 23rd day of July, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner is challenging recovery proceedings initiated against her late husband for recovery of fine imposed by the Judicial First Class Magistrate. The fine imposed is stated to be Rs.25,000/-. Since the accused is no more and his wife, the petitioner herein, stated that she is willing to clear the fine amount in instalments, I dispose of the W.P. granting ten equal instalments to the petitioner, first of which will be paid on or before 20.8.2008 and the balance on or before 20th of nine succeeding months. Recovery proceedings will remain stayed for payment as above and if petitioner commits default in payment of any instalment, the instalment facility will stand automatically cancelled and respondents will proceed for recovery. If arrears are cleared as above, there will be direction to the respondents to waive interest, if the same is payable. No collection charges also should be recovered, if petitioner makes payment voluntarily. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
