The sale has been confirmed in the name of the petitioner. However, the petitioner needs time for payment of balance sale consideration. Petitioner has therefore filed this writ petition seeking the following reliefs: “I. Direct the respondents to permit the petitioner to pay the balance amount of Rs.36,18,142/- within 15.7.08 and confirm Ext.P1 revenue recovery sale. II. Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 representation filed by the petitioner and until then stay all further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1”. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I feel that the petitioner can be granted time till 16.7.08. Accordingly, I direct the respondents to accept the balance sale consideration, as paid within time, if the petitioner pays the balance sale consideration on or before 16.7.2008. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
