J U D G M E N T The petitioner who is the Manager of Gregorian Public School, Maradu, Ernakulam, preferred this writ petition challenging Ext.P1 notice issued by the respondent, by which he is directed to pay the amount as directed therein. 2. The case of the petitioner is that he has got valid permit as evident by Ext.P2 and he used to pay required building tax and Ext.P3 will prove the same. Thus according to the petitioner, no amount is due to the respondent and inspite of that, Ext.P1 notice is issued directing him to effect the payment of tax dues. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that, the school buildings were constructed as permitted by Ext.P2 issued by the respondent and no other construction is effected. It is also the submission of the learned counsel that, no order is passed by the respondent though the petitioner had preferred Ext.P5 representation before the respondent. 2 W.P.(C)No.13236 of 2011 4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances involved in the case, especially in the light of the facts mentioned above, I am of the view that, the writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondent to consider Ext.P5. In the result, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to take up Ext.P5 and consider the same on merit and after hearing the petitioner or his agent, dispose the same within 1 (one) month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, which will be produced by the petitioner before the respondent.
