ORDER
01.09.2026
01.
1. Heard learned counsel for the Parties.
2. By means of this application, the Petitioner seeks to challenge the inaction of the authority, whereby, though the Petitioner is interested and willing to deposit the e-challans imposed against him to the tune of Rs.1,35,750/- (Rupees One Lakh Thirty-Five Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty only) in instalments, to be completed within a year, the authority is not ready to accept the same and, instead, may suspend the Registration Certificate in respect of the vehicle bearing Registration No. OD-02-F-9115.
3. He submits that a show-cause notice has been issued to that effect by the R.T.O., Bhubaneswar dated 13.07.2026, directing the Petitioner to submit his show-cause reply within a period of seven days.
4. Admittedly, the aforesaid period of seven days has already been lapsed in the meanwhile. Hence, this Court, while disposing the writ application at the stage of admission, directs the Petitioner to appear before the R.T.O. within a period of fifteen (15) days and submit his show-cause expressing his willingness to deposit the e- challans in installments. In the event such willingness is expressed by the Petitioner, the same shall be considered by the R.T.O., Bhubaneswar, in accordance with law, and rebate, if any, may be granted to the Petitioner, and instalments may be fixed to make good the e-challan deposits. The entire exercise shall be completed within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the show-cause reply to be submitted by the Petitioner within fifteen (15) days.
