SRI.LAKSHMI NARAYAN THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... R.P. No.189 of 2010 in W.P.(C) No.15676 of 2005 .................................................................... Dated this the 17th day of March, 2010. ORDER Even though I find no merit in the Review Petition which is filed for the purpose of reduction in lease rentals, I feel since review petitioners are small shop owners holding only around 5 cents of common land on lease, the arrears of interest could be reduced to 50% i.e. by reducing rate of interest from 12% to 6%, if the entire arrears with reduced interest is paid on or before 15th May, 2010. However, if payment is not made as above, then the reduction of interest granted will stand vacated and respondents will be free to proceed for recovery including eviction. Review Petition is disposed of as above. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
