THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.M.JOSEPH, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WP.(C) No.10575 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 11th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P3. Ext.P3 is an award passed under Section 7B of the Telegraph Act. 2. Heard counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel. It is pointed out by the learned Standing Counsel that the petitioner has already paid two instalments under Ext.P3 and that Ext.P3 does not contain the full text of the award as such. Complaint of the petitioner has been considered in an elaborate manner and having regard to the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, I am not inclined to interfere with the award. Having regard to the facts, I feel that the petitioner can be given some more time to pay off the amount covered by the award. While dismissing the writ petition, petitioner is granted 15 instalments for paying off the balance amount as per the award dated 28.1.2008. The respondents will communicate to the petitioner within a period of ten days from today the exact amount of instalment to be paid under this judgment. The first instalment as per this judgment will be paid on or before 1.5.2008 and the subsequent instalments on or before the first working day of every succeeding month. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb WPC. 2
