Makol and others v. Notified Area Committee, Manimajra” in CWP No.8257 of 1990, this Court has already passed an order observing that the territory of the notified area/respondent has been merged with the Municipal Corporation, Chandigarh and, therefore, the apprehension about the recovery of taxes pursuant to the notice issued by the Notified Area Committee does not any longer exist. This Court has permitted the petitioners to have a fresh remedy if the Municipal Corporation, Chandigarh proposed to take any steps for recovery of the tax amount. 2. All the writ petitions are disposed of taking note of the subsequent event of the merger of the respondent with the Municipal Corporation, Chandigarh and they will have an independent cause of action to approach this Court if any demand that is raised for payment of tax is not in accordance with law. 3. The writ petitions are disposed of as above. NOVEMBER 29, 2011 ( K. KANNAN ) Rajan JUDGE
