Shri Adgokar, Assistant Government Pleader for the R-2. CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, J. DATE : OCTOBER 20, 2008. Heard. By this petition, the petitioner impugns the judgment passed by the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Washim on 25.08.2005 in Municipal Appeal No.9/2003 and the judgment passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Washim on 05.03.2007 in Criminal Revision No.110/2005, dismissing the appeal and the revision filed by the petitioner against the demand of tax on his residential house in Ward No.3 at Washim. It is necessary to consider that the petitioner had not paid the full amount of tax demanded by the demand notice in the Municipal Office before the presentation of the appeal under Section 169 of the Maharashtra Municipal Councils, 2 Nagar Panchayats and Industrial Townships Act, 1965. The petitioner had also not stated in the appeal filed by him under the Act of 1965 that he had paid the full amount of tax for the last preceding assessment year. The revisional Court, therefore, rightly held that the revision was not tenable on account of non payment of amount stipulated in the bill and which was payable by the petitioner under the provisions of Section 170 of the Act of 1965. There is no error whatsoever in the orders passed by both the Courts. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE APTE
