Pass any other order or direction deems fit and proper to the circumstances of this case and thus render justice. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in spite of substantiating the title of the petitioner, the basic tax sought to be remitted by the petitioner is not accepted by the respondents, referring to some attachment over the property. Petitioner is relying upon the decision rendered by this Court in Joykutty Thomas Vs. Village Officer (2009 (3) KLT 914). The grievance of the petitioner is that, though the petitioner sought to explain the position by filing Ext. P2 representation before the second respondent, the same is still to be acted upon, which made the petitioner to approach this Court. 2. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well. W.P. (C) No. 14977 of 2011 : 2 : 3. Considering the facts and circumstances, this Court finds that, there cannot be any dispute with regard to the law settled as per the decision cited supra. In the said circumstances, the second respondent is directed to accept the tax for the property in question from the petitioner, if there is no other impediment than the attachment as mentioned in Ext. P2, which shall be done forthwith Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with copy of the writ petition before the second respondent for further steps. The Writ Petition is disposed of. P. R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE kmd W.P. (C) No. 14977 of 2011 : 3 :
