SRI.G.HARIHARAN RESPONDENT: ---------------- DEPUTY COMMISSIONER (APPEALS), DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCIAL TAXES, ERNAKULAM -682018. BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.M.P.SREEKRISHNAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/09/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 28112 OF 2007 ==================== Dated this the 25th day of September, 2007 J U D G M E N T The request of the petitioner is that the appeal filed for the assessment years 1994-2002, which were posted for hearing at Thodupuzha, should be heard in Kochi. I see no legal right for the petitioner to make such a demand. 2. Yet another complaint raised is that the notice of hearing is not served sufficiently in advance. This certainly is the duty of the respondents to ensure that there is proper notice before the appeals are heard. I see no reason to entertain any doubt in this. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
