The learned Government Pleader submits this property is part of the properties, in respect of which certain proceedings are pending as per Ext.P5 judgment of this Court and the learned Government Pleader would submit that since there is already direction in Ext.P5 judgment to complete the process of demarcating the lands, the said process can be completed including this property also in that process. This submission is recorded and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction that if the process cannot be completed by 31.8.2008 as directed in Ext.P5 judgment, the basic tax would be accepted from the petitioner subject to further proceedings in the matter, after completing the survey and demarcation later.
