...Respondents

Prayer:Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of Constitution of India, to issue a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondents to permit the petitioner to pay the renewal charges i.e., Rs.22,30,200/- in two dues with six month interval. For Petitioner : Mr.S.M.A.Jinnah For Respondents : Mr.T.S.Mohammed Mohideen

ORDER

According to the petitioner, he is the licensee for collecting fees in the Keela Marat Street Market. This year license has been renewed by the respondents and the petitioner was directed to pay a sum of Rs.22,30,200/- on or before 31.03.2018 in a single payment. Hence, the petitioner submitted a representation before the respondents on 15.03.2018 seeking a relief to pay the amount in installments. So far no order has been passed on the above said representation of the petitioner. Hence, the present writ petition has been filed.

2.The learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the amount sought by the respondents is very huge and he is not able to pay the same immediately in a single payment and seeks time to pay the amount.

3.The learned counsel for the respondents opposed the contention made by the learned counsel for the petitioner stating that the respondents have renewed the license and also directed the petitioner to pay the said amount on or before 31.03.2018. If the petitioner has any grievance over that, the petitioner has to approach the respondents and he cannot file a writ petition seeking extension of time.

4.I have considered the rival submissions made by the learned counsel on either side.

5.Considering the fact that the petitioner is not able to pay the said amount immediately and only sought time to pay the same, the petitioner is directed to pay the amount on or before 16.04.2018. It is always open to the respondents to cancel the license, if the petitioner failed to pay the amount. 6.Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CO) /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar To 1.The Commissioner of Corporation, Madurai Corporation, Madurai.
