Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner may be permitted to pay off the amount due in six equal monthly instalments. I feel that the said request can be granted. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing that proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1 will be kept in abeyance on condition that the petitioner remits the entire amount due with interest in six equal monthly instalments. The Ist instalment is to be paid on or before 15.4.2009. The further instalments are to be paid on or before the 15th day of the succeeding months. If the petitioner does not pay any of the instalments as aforesaid, petitioner will lose the benefit of this judgment and respondents will be free to proceed against the petitioner in accordance with law. If the authorities have WPC No. 9540/2009 -2- not taken any steps apart from issuing notices under Section 7 or Section 34 of the Revenue Recovery Act, petitioner need not pay collection charges.
