BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.23107 of 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of August, 2009. JUDGMENT The petitioner's father Chakkaramakkil Thomas inherited 32 cents of property comprised in Survey No.157/4 of Paluvai Amsom. The petitioner, thereafter, succeeded to the same. According to him, there is a mistake in the survey Number and the survey number is actually mis-described as 157/5 instead of 157/4. But, the petitioner submits that mutation has been effected and basic tax was received for the year 2008-09. 2. The petitioner approached the respondent for permission to remit basic tax for the year 2009-2010. This has not been permitted in spite of Ext.P3. Hence this writ petition. 3. If tax has been accepted for the year 2008-09, there is no reason why it should not be accepted for the year 2009-10. If there is any supervening objection, the W.P.(C).No.23107 of 2009 :: 2 :: petitioner should be informed about it. The 2nd respondent shall take action on Ext.P4 within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
