                    W.P.(C).35584/2007
                       --------------------
         Dated this the 1st day of December, 2007

                        JUDGMENT

The complaint pleaded in this writ petition is that

though the department had in Ext.P2 clarified that the

amount due from the petitioner was only Rs.1,71,131/-,

Revenue Recovery authorities are proceeding to recover

Rs.4,98,441/-. However, the learned counsel for the

petitioner submits that subsequent to the filing of this

writ petition, Revenue Recovery authorities have issued a

fresh notice for Rs.1,71,131/-. Counsel also submits that

in view of the financial constraints of the petitioner, he be

allowed to pay the amount in instalments.

2. I heard the learned Government Pleader also in the

matter.

3. Taking into account the submissions that are made

by both sides, I dispose of this writ petition directing that

the petitioner shall pay the amount due in two equal

instalments. The first instalment will be payable on 20th

W.P.(C).35584/2007
2

December, 2007 and second instalment on 20th of

January, 2008. Subject to payment as above, the

revenue recovery proceedings initiated against the

petitioner shall be deferred.
