P3 and P4 order of assessment and notice of demand respectively. Petitioner contends that while building tax of Rs.13,340/- has been demanded in respect of his building, by Ext.P5 demand notice the tax that is levied in respect of a comparable building is only Rs.2,329/-. 2. According to the learned counsel, this itself discloses that different yardsticks have been followed by the Tahsildar when it comes to comparable buildings. Urging these points, petitioner is seen to have submitted Ext.P6 before the respondent and this has not been considered so far. 3. In view of the above facts, I direct that the respondent shall take up and consider Ext.P6 if the same has been received and is pending. Orders on Ext.P6 shall be passed with notice to WPC 8409/08 :2 : the petitioner and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. 4. Till orders are passed as above, proceedings pursuant to Ext.P4 will stand stayed for a period of six weeks from today. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
