W.P.(C) No.5165 of 2006 .................................................................... Dated this the 7th day of August, 2008. JUDGMENT Challenge is against recovery proceedings for recovery of arrears of motor vehicle tax. The vehicle was attached and sold on 31.1.2001. So far as the balance liability is concerned, this court granted instalment facility by order dated 22.2.2006. If petitioner has complied with the interim order, then full liability would have been discharged by now. In any case since petitioner is liable to pay the motor vehicle tax as registered owner of the vehicle, liability could be recovered, if payment is not made. The W.P. is disposed of as above.
