J U D G M E N T
The petitioner is conducting a small scale Automobile
Workshop near Kadavanthra Market. The room is one alloted
by the respondent G.C.D.A. Initially, it was alloted in
the year 1998 on a monthly rent of Rs.1,500/- per month.
The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P1 notice proposing to
recover arrears to the tune of Rs.1,99,751/-. It is
pointed out that such a huge amount cannot be paid within
the period provided in the notice, as the petitioner will
not be able to raise the entire amount within the short
time. It is therefore, submitted that the petitioner may
be given some time to make the payment and any eviction
proceedings in the meanwhile may be kept in abeyance.
2. Heard the learned Standing Counsel for the
G.C.D.A.
3. What the petitioner requires is time to make
payment on instalment basis. There will be a direction to
the respondent to stop any action for recovery pursuant to
Ext.P1 on condition of remittance of Rs.40,000/- by the
petitioner within one week from today and the entire
balance will be remitted in five equal monthly instalments
and the last instalment will clear the entire arrears as on
W.P.(C). No.3986/2010

that date. Along with such instalments, the petitioner
will pay the monthly rent also as now fixed from time to
time. If the petitioner makes any default in the matter,
the respondent will be entitled to proceed in the matter
for recovery in accordance with law.
The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs.
(T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.)
