BOOK EXT.P3- TRUE COPY OF THE ORDER IN W.P.(C).25513/2007 (TRUE COPY) P.A TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J ------------------- W.P.(C).28673/2007 -------------------- Dated this the 29th day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT The prayer sought for in this writ petition is for endorsing the regular permit by replacing the vehicle. It is submitted by the learned Government Pleader on instructions, that in respect of the outgoing vehicle there is tax arrears of Rs.1,87,300/-. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the liability is under challenge in W.P.(C).25513/2007, it is pointed out that there is no interim order in that case as well. In such a situation, the respondent was justified in insisting on the clearance of arrears of tax. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that on payment of the amount in arrears, necessary endorsement shall be made, but then any such payment of arrears shall be subject to the result of Writ Petition No.25513/2007.
