Dated this the 3rd day of July, 2025
JUDGMENT
The issue raised in these Writ Petitions is already decided by
this Court by judgment dated 30.06.2025 in W.P.(C) No.34632 of
2015 and connected cases [Faris v. State of Kerala (2025 KLT
OnLine 2216)]. Therefore these cases are also to be disposed of in
tune with the said judgment.
2. However in some of the Writ petitions petitioners had
pleaded for installment facility to clear the arrears. Learned
counsel for the petitioners submitted that the respective local
bodies may be directed to provide installments.
3. Learned Senior Counsel appearing for the respondent-
Board submitted that it is not for the local bodies to provide such
installments and in case the petitioners approach the Board for
such facility, the request can be considered by the Board.
2025:KER:48854
W.P.(C) NO.13047 of 2024 and conn.cases
4. In view of the said submission, the petitioners are at
liberty to approach the Board for installment facility to clear the
arrears.
With the above observation, these Writ Petitions are
dismissed.
