GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 3974 OF 2008 W = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 13th February, 2008 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext. P2 revenue recovery notice. It is submitted by the petitioner that during the period when the vehicle was in garage, Exts. P1 and P1(a) G forms were filed and despite the pendency of these G forms revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated. 2. The learned Govt. Pleader, on instruction, submits that though these G forms were received by the department, when verification was conducted on three consecutive days the vehicle was not found in the garage against the claims in the G forms. It is stated that thereafter they issued notice to the petitioner and passed orders rejecting the G forms on 4.9.2007. According to the learned Govt. Pleader, it is in view of this that the revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated. 3. From the facts stated above, it is obvious that G forms have been rejected. On rejection if the petitioner was aggrieved by the W.P.(C) No. 3974 OF 2008 -2- same, he should have pursued the matter in the manner provided in the Act. This having not been done, the respondents cannot be faulted for the steps they have taken for recovery of the amount by issuing Ext. P2 demand notice under the Revenue Recovery Act. The writ petition is only to be dismissed and I do so. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
