GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 35961 OF 2008 (F) ===================== Dated this the 12th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T Although several contentions have been raised impugning the validity of Ext.P8 Government order dated 8/9/08, when the matter was taken up for arguments, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner did not argue the invalidity of Ext.P8, but only sought an instalment facility to pay the amount now sought to be recovered by revenue recovery proceedings evidenced by Ext.P9 notice. 2. I heard the learned Government Pleader also on this aspect. 3. It is seen that as a consequence of the impugned proceedings, by Ext.P9, an amount of Rs.88,816 along with other charges is sought to be recovered from the petitioner. 4. Having regard to the facts highlighted justifying the instalment facility, I feel the petitioner should be given such a facility to discharge the liability now sought to be recovered. Accordingly, it is directed that the petitioner will be permitted to pay the amount now demanded by Ext.P9, in five equal monthly WPC No. 35961/08 :2 : instalments, the first of which shall be paid on or before 3rd of September, 2010 and the balance will be paid on or before 3rd of every succeeding month. Subject to payment as above, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P9 will stand stayed. Needless to say that if any instalment is not paid as above, it will be open to the respondents to continue the recovery proceedings by Ext.P9. 5. Petitioner to produce a copy of this judgment before the 2nd respondent and also the Deputy Tahsildar (RR), Trichur for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
