Since the amount to be collected is the compensation awarded by MACT which has to reach the beneficiary, there will be a direction to the second respondent to forward the payments received, to the MACT concerned without any delay. Revenue Recovery proceedings will be kept in abeyance for payments as above. If petitioner commits default in making payment of any of the installments, the installment facility granted will stand automatically vacated on first default and respondents will recover the entire arrears. If payments are made voluntarily, collection charge should be limited to Rs. 1,000/-. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) jg
