                  Dated: 16th October 2008

                          JUDGMENT

Petitioner who is the judgment debtor in a money suit

filed as O.S. No. 441 of 1999 on the file of the Sub court,

Palakkad, challenges Ext.P6 order issuing arrest warrant

against him in E.P. 104 of 2002.

2. In the light of the earlier orders passed by the

executing court as well as by this Court, I am not inclined to

accept the petitioner’s contention that the arrest warrant

could not have been issued without finding that the

petitioner had the means to pay the decree debt and had

wilfully refused to pay the same. The petitioner has so far

paid only a sum of Rs. 50,000/- pursuant to Ext.P5

judgment by this Court. The petitioner is, however, given

an opportunity to clear off the decree debt on the following

terms:-

In case the petitioner deposits before the

W.P. (C0 No. 29605 of 2008 -:2:-

court below a further amount of Rs. 50,000/- within

one month from today, that court shall consider the

question of giving the benefit of installment to the

petitioner for the balance amount after hearing the

petitioner as well as the decree holder.

2. The warrant of arrest issued against the

petitioner shall be kept in abeyance for a period of one

month from today and it shall be subject to further orders

which the executing court may pass after hearing both

sides.

This Writ Petition is disposed of as above.

Dated this the 16th day of October 2008.



                                         Sd/- V. RAMKUMAR,
