BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss C.K.ABDUL REHIM,J. ------------------------------- WP(C).NO. 34552 of 2010 --------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of December, 2010 JUDGMENT Grievance of the petitioner is that respondents are not taking appropriate decision and making endorsement of tax exemption on the basis of G Form submitted seeking exemption from payment of tax for the period from 1.10.2006 to 30.9.2007. Petitioner has got a further grievance that Ext.P3 application submitted for permitting to demolish the vehicle has not been considered and disposed. It is evident that there is arrears of motor vehicle tax due from the petitioner for various periods. Under such circumstances the writ petition was entertained and an interim stay was granted against coercive steps of recovery initiated pursuant to Exts. P4 and P5 subject to condition of the petitioner remitting a sum of Rs.20,000/-. 2. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner could not comply with the condition stipulated. Under such circumstances I find no reason to withhold the recovery steps. However it is made clear that if there is any G Form application pending decision before the 2nd WP(C) .34552/2010 2 respondent, the same shall be considered and disposed of. The 2nd respondent shall also take a decision on the application if any submitted seeking permission for demolishing the vehicle. The writ petition is disposed of with the above observations.
