SRI.M.K.CHANDRAMOHAN DAS, SC, KSFE, LTD FOR R1-2 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 3874 OF 2009 J -------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th March, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioners challenge Ext.P1. Ext.P1 is a demand notice issued under the Revenue Recovery Act. The issue arises out of transactions in the nature of chitty. On the one hand, the complaint of the petitioners is that the calculation of the respondents is not sustainable. This is disputed. Ext.P3 is a communication by the first respondent showing the calculation. There is no challenge as such to Ext.P3. Challenge to the recovery proceedings without challenge to the substantial demand may not lie. Accordingly, I need not entertain this Writ Petition and it is dismissed. But, this will be without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to agitate before any other Forum in law. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. // True Copy // PS to Judge
