I heard the learned Government Pleader. It is seen from Ext.P1, that the total amount of Rs.5.5 lakhs is due from the petitioner towards tax and Rs.2,62,393/- towards interest. Now that the petitioner seeks payment in instalments, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the petitioner would be permitted tax and interest in six equal monthly instalments, first of which will be paid in the 1st week of March 2008 and subsequent instalments in the 1st week of every succeeding months. If the petitioner makes payment as above, further coercive proceedings shall be deferred. Needless to say that if the petitioner commits default in paying any one of the instalments, the respondents will be W.P.(C) No.7089/2008/R -2- free to continue the action they have already initiated. The writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE jp
