This Court has not passed any interim order or granted any injunction preventing the respondents Gram Panchayats from recovering the taxes to which they are entitled under the law and, therefore, the respondents having filed this application seeking direction against the petitioner and its members to pay the arrears of accumulated taxes since 2001 at the admitted rate existing prior to the amendment to the Act with effect from 2001 onwards upto 2009 and further that they should be regular in payment of further taxes till the final decision of the petition; we fail to understand 2 why the applicants Gram Panchayats have not initiated recovery proceedings as the interim order passed by this Court does not prevent Gram Panchayats from recovering such taxes. The application stands disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE. J.
