No.8601 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 6th day of April, 2009 J U D G M E N T What is sought in the writ petition is for a direction to the respondents to issue clearance certificate as sought for by the petitioner. 2. According to the respondents, certificate was not issued for the reason that for the previous years, the petitioner has not paid the full amount towards the advance contribution. Dealing with this very contention, this Court has disposed of WP(C) No.8692/2009 by judgment dated 31/03/2009. In that case taking into account the fact that assessment has not still been completed, certificate was ordered to be issued. 3. Consistent with the above, this writ petition is also disposed of directing that it will be open to the petitioner to approach the respondents for issue of clearance certificate, in which case, non-payment of the advance contribution as pointed out shall not be held against the petitioner for denying the certificate. 4. In so far as the non completion of the assessments for WP(C) No.8601/2009 -2- the previous years are concerned, the learned counsel for the respondents himself says that the assessment will be completed within four months from today. I record the same. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
