JUDGMENT The petitioner is challenging Ext.P2 order demanding additional stamp duty and registration charges on account of alleged undervaluation. Petitioner rightly pointed out that there was no adjudication before demand of stamp duty. Another case filed by petitioner's husband was allowed by this court vide judgment in O.P. No.10628/2002 dated 21.12.2006 directing fresh adjudication. In the circumstances, O.P. is disposed of directing the second respondent to hear the petitioner and issue detailed adjudication order giving reason for the additional demand, if any, made against the petitioner. If petitioner offers payment under the last amnesty scheme, then there will be direction to the second respondent to accept it and settle liability, provided along with the amount payable under amnesty scheme petitioner pays 12% interest per annum on such amount from due date till date of payment.
