RESPONDENTS' EXHIBITS: NIL (TRUE COPY) P.A. TO JUDGE DMR/- S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 29249 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 3rd day of November, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges revenue recovery proceedings initiated by the respondents for recovery of loan amounts defaulted by the petitioner. The petitioner does not dispute the liability to pay or the quantum. The petitioner only seeks facility to pay off the amounts due in instalments. 2. This is opposed by the learned Government Pleader and the learned counsel for the bank. 3. However, taking a lenient view, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions; The petitioner shall pay the balance amounts due in ten equal monthly instalments starting from 1.12.2011. Every subsequent instalment shall be paid on the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays the instalments on the due dates without default, coercive proceedings for recovery of the amount shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner commits default in payment of any 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.
