J U D G M E N T The petitioner purchased a J.C.B for business purposes. Permanent registration fee under the Motor Vehicles Act and life time tax under the Motor Vehicle Taxation Act have been demanded from the petitioner, which comes to more than Rs.2 lakhs. The petitioner seeks instalment facility to pay off the amounts demanded. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to permit the petitioner to pay off the permanent registration fee and life time tax payable in respect of the petitioner's J.C.B in 4 equal monthly instalments starting from 1.12.2011. Every subsequent instalment shall be paid on the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the instalment amounts on due dates without default, proceedings for coercive recovery shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default in payment of any one instalment, it would be open to the respondents to recover the entire amount in a lump sum by appropriate coercive legal proceedings.
