JUDGMENT The petitioner, who is an employee of the Cochin Port Trust, subscribed to the chitty conducted by the 1st respondent. The chitty was prized for an amount of Rs.1 lakhs and he was given an amount of Rs.65,000/-. Apparently, two other persons stood as sureties at the time of receipt of the amount. Petitioner defaulted repayment of the amount and hence proceedings have been initiated for attaching the salary of the sureties. Petitioner has sought for permission to pay the amounts due to the first respondent in instalments. It is submitted that Ext.P3 is pending before the 2nd respondent. 2. I heard learned standing counsel for the 2nd respondent also. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to look into Ext.P3 and afford the petitioner such instalment facilities as are appropriate for payment of the balance amount due from the petitioner. The proceedings by way of W.P.(C).NO.3308/08 :: 2 :: recovery from the salary of the sureties shall be kept in abeyance till a decision is taken on Ext.P3 provided, the petitioner pays an amount of Rs.15,000/- as undertaken in Ext.P3 within three weeks from today. The balance payment will be subject to the orders to be passed by the 2nd respondent on Ext.P3. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
