However, learned standing counsel has produced the acknowledgments to show that copies of the orders are served on petitioner. Moreover, petitioner has paid the demand for previous years and the present demand for the year 2003-04 is based on evidence given by employees about their employment. In the circumstances, this writ petition is devoid of any merit and is dismissed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE.) jg
