JOSEPH, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 6226 OF 2008 N ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 6th day of June, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to return Ext.P2 certificates to her. The case of the petitioner in brief is as follows. The petitioner's father was a dealer of Kerala State Lotteries. He was an assessee under the KGST Act. He furnished an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- as advance tax for the year 2004-05 by way of National Savings Certificate. The petitioner's father was murdered on 30.4.2005 and, therefore, the petitioner is unable to run the lottery business. She submitted a representation along with documents for return of the National Savings Certificate before the 1st respondent. But, no action is taken. This has driven the petitioner to this Court by filing the writ petition. The petitioner has already filed Ext.P4 representation before the 1st respondent. In such circumstances, there will be a WPC.6226/08 : 2 : direction to the 1st respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P4 in accordance with law and communicate the same to the petitioner within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks
