It is at that stage, this writ petition has been filed. Counsel for the petitioner confines the request for one for an instalment facility urging financial constraints of the petitioner. 2. I heard the standing counsel for the respondents also. 3. Though the request is objected, still having regard to the fact that the petitioner is desirous of discharging the liability, I direct that the petitioner will be permitted to pay the amount that is due in eight equal monthly instalments. The first instalment will be payable in WPC 4299/08 :2 : the 1 st week of March, 2008 and the subsequent instalments will be payable in the 1 st week of every succeeding month. Subject to payment as above, coercive action against the petitioner will be deferred and in case the petitioner commits default in paying anyone of the instalments, the respondents will be free to continue their action without any further notice. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
