Petitioner has not remitted the deficit stamp duty and therefore by Ext.P2, he has been informed that either he should remit the amount or else recovery proceedings will be initiated. 2. Against the demand made as is seen from Ext.P2, petitioner can invoke the statutory appellate remedy that is available. However, learned counsel for the petitioner complains that no order has been communicated to the petitioner as required under the Stamp Act. If that be so, the petitioner may approach the 1st respondent with a copy of this judgment, on the production of which, the 1st respondent shall issue proceedings on the basis of which the petitioner can pursue the statutory right of appeal. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
