Heard the learned Special Government Pleader for Taxes. From the facts, it appears that the tax demanded, pursuant to the revisionary order referred above, is Rs.1,50,550/- and in the affidavit it is asserted by the petitioner that out of the abovementioned demand, an amount of Rs.87,638/-, was already paid by the petitioner.
