GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 11730 OF 2008 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT Even though there is no justification to grant instalment facility to pay arrears of motor vehicle tax, I feel one opportunity can be given to the petitioner to clear the accrued arrears of motor vehicle tax for the quarter from 1.10.2005 to 31.12.2005 in two instalments provided the vehicle is not in arrears of any other tax, and petitioner will not be eligible for instalment facility for payment of motor vehicle tax in future. In the circumstances, W.P. is disposed of granting two instalments to the petitioner to clear the arrears of motor vehicle tax with additional tax for the quarter 1.10.2005 to 31.12.2005 first of which will be paid on or before 25th of this month and the second instalment on or before 25.5.2008. The RTO will along with the instalment facility endorse disability in the RC book so that petitioner will not claim instalment facility again. (C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2 kk
