The petitioner does not dispute the liability to pay or the quantum. The petitioner only seeks facility to pay off the amount in instalments. 2. This is opposed by the learned counsel for the Bank. 3. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: The petitioner shall pay the balance amount due after accounting Rs.75,000/- stated to have been paid as per the interim order dated 01.07.2011 in 10 (ten) equal monthly instalments starting from 01.09.2011. Every subsequent W.P.(C)No.17878 of 2011 -2- instalment shall be paid on the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the instalments on due dates without default, further proceedings under the Act shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default in payment of any one of the instalments, it would be open to the respondents to continue proceedings as now initiated without having to issue any fresh notice or proceedings in that regard.
