(Oral) This writ appeal arises from a judgment passed by the learned Single Judge dated 28th November, 2006 recorded in W.P. (C).No.14895 of 2006. All that was urged before the learned Single Judge as also before us is that during the period 1998-99 petitioner did not have any permit to operate the vehicle and, therefore, the demand made for the said period would be unauthorised. This contention was repelled by the learned Single Judge on the basis of the statement of the petitioner himself that during the said period he had operated the stage carriage. No merits. Dismissed.
