BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.C.K.GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 27533 OF 2008 C -------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th September, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P4 and seeks a direction to the first respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P3. Ext.P4 is a notice issued under Section 49(2) of the Revenue Recovery Act. Petitioner had approached this Court earlier and by Ext.P2 Judgment this Court had directed that if the petitioner files a representation, the first respondent will consider the same and pass orders. Petitioner filed Ext.P3 representation dated 8.11.2006. Complaint of the petitioner is that even without disposing of the representation, coercive steps have been initiated as per Ext.P4 Notice. Today, when the matter came up, learned Government Pleader submits that an order has already been passed on Ext.P3 on 12.4.2007 and a copy of the order is handed over to the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. In the light of the prayers in the Writ Petition, the Writ Petition is disposed of reserving liberty to the petitioner to challenge the WPC.27533/08 C 2 order passed on Ext.P3 representation, if he is so advised and also the recovery steps taken as per Ext.P4.
