An award was passed by the Tribunal directing the insurer to pay the amount and permitting it to recover that amount from the owner and driver. I find no illegality in that award. Revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated for recovery of such amount. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that having regard to the financial condition of the petitioner, he may be permitted to pay the amount in installments. Under the aforesaid circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the revenue recovery proceedings will stand stayed for a further period of three months from today to enable the petitioner to pay the entire outstanding amount in three equal monthly instalments payable on or before 15th of W.P.(C).No.8689/2004 :2: every month commencing from August, 2007. If there is default in remitting any of the instalments as aforesaid, the benefit of this judgment shall stand recalled automatically. The office will communicate a copy of this judgment to the fourth respondent. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE dvs
