The petitioners in these writ petitions state that appeals filed by them in relation to property tax have been groundlessly rejected as barred by limitation, however, that they have not been communicated with the authenticated copy of the order in accordance with law. It is insufficient that some information is given to the petitioners under the Right To Information Act. Under such circumstances, it is ordered that the decisions taken by the appeal committee shall be communicated to the petitioners in accordance with law, to enable them to challenge it before the competent statutory authority. These writ petitions are ordered accordingly. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. kkb.28/10.
