During the hearing of this case, it appeared that the real dispute is with regard to the length of the road. There are two varying reports given by the respondents. One of the reports shows it is 54 kms and another report shows it is 61 kms. The length of the road would be material for the rate at which the tax has to be paid by the petitioner.
