The petitioner availed a loan. Petitioner's parents, who are the guarantors for the loan, expired. The loan has to be repaid in annual instalments. But, the instalments have become over due. The petitioner is faced with Exts.P3 and P4 recovery notices. The petitioner was granted instalment facility by Ext.P5. According to the petitioner, he began to make payments. Exts.P6 to P15 are the receipts of the payments made by the petitioner. But, it is the case that seven instalments have been defaulted. The petitioner has submitted Ext.P16 representation to the Minister. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner may be given some time to pay off the amount. Writ petition is disposed of directing that the recovery steps will be kept in abeyance on condition that the petitioner remits the WPC.6317/09 : 2 : entire amount remaining to be paid with due interest in ten equal monthly instalments. The 3rd respondent shall give a statement within ten days from today to the petitioner showing the exact amount of the instalment to be paid. The first instalment shall be paid on or before 15.3.2009 and the further instalments shall be paid on or before the 15th working day of the succeeding months. If the petitioner makes default in a single instalment, the petitioner will lose the benefit of this judgment and the respondents will be free to proceed against the petitioner in accordance with law. It is made clear that the petitioner need not pay collection charges. Sd/- (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks // TRUE COPY // P.A. TO JUDGE
