P.C. . Heard. 2. Letter dated 24.10.2007 is under challenge. By the said letter, the Corporation has called upon the contractors registered with M.C.G.M. in ’B’ Class and above in Civil and ’AA’ Class in Mechanical Electrical & Electronics Discipline to produce a Tax Clearance Certificate from Assessor & Collector’s Department stating that their office accommodation is assessed at non-residential rates (commercial rates) along with their application of :2: New Registration / Renewal of Registration / Up-gradation of Registration / Change in Constitution etc. This is required in order to know as to whether the tax is paid or not and that the business is carried on in a non-residential premises, so that after the allotment of the work there should not be complaints that the work is being carried out from residential premises. Apart from that, the Tax Clearance Certificate is equally necessary to find out that there are no arrears of taxes. 3. The grievance of the petitioner is that such condition has not been put up by the other departments like P.W.D. What should be the terms and conditions of the registration of a contractor is a choice of the employer and this is not a fit case to interfere under Article 226 of the Constitution. The Petition is therefore rejected. (A. A. KUMBHAKONI, J.) (A. A. KUMBHAKONI, J.) (A. A. KUMBHAKONI, J.) (S. B. MHASE, J.) (S. B. MHASE, J.) (S. B. MHASE, J.)
