Since petitioner has offered settlement of liability in

instalments, i.e. arrears of sales tax due for the assessment years

2002-03, 2005-06 and 2006-07, this writ petition is disposed of

directing 2nd & 3rd respondent to release the vehicle after making

endorsement in the RC book that the vehicle should not be

transferred without prior permission from the 2nd respondent on

petitioner remitting 25% of the sales tax arrears within three weeks

from now. Petitioner is granted ten equal monthly instalments to

clear the balance arrears, first of which will be paid on or before

10/10/2007 and balance on or before 10th day of nine succeeding

months.
