In this writ petition though there are several reliefs sought for, what is pressed before me is only a direction to the respondent Municipality to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 application made by the petitioner for an ownership certificate and Ext.P10, a request for assessing the building for property tax under sec.234 of the Municipality Act. 3. If, as stated by the petitioner, these representations have been made and are still pending, orders thereon shall be passed by the Municipality with notice to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, and at any rate within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. It is further directed that in the meanwhile, the property tax already assessed on the petitioner and the WP(C) 23652/08 2 payment of which is demanded by demand notice dated 5.8.2008, will be kept in abeyance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE mt/-
