No.12934 of 2002 .................................................................... Dated this the 27th day of November, 2007. JUDGMENT The O.P. is filed five years back challenging recovery proceedings for recovery of differential stamp duty based on alleged undervaluation in the document. The petitioner's allegation of want of notice and proper adjudication remain unanswered by the respondents. In the circumstances, second respondent is directed to issue a fresh notice, hear the petitioner's objections and complete adjudication within two months from date of receipt of copy of this judgment. The petitioner will produce copy of this judgment before the second respondent and co-operate in the enquiry for completion of adjudication in time. Recovery proceedings will be kept in abeyance until fresh orders are issued. However, if petitioner does not co- operate with enquiry, recovery could be continued under the present orders after the period stated above. However, if fresh adjudication orders are issued as above, second respondent will recall impugned orders simultaneously. The O.P. is disposed of as above. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
