THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.M.JOSEPH, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WP.(C) No. 17785 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 24th day of June, 2008 JUDGMENT Writ of mandamus is sought to direct the first respondent to remit the sum of Rs.3,05,000/- realized by the sale of the petitioner's property to the second respondent towards the dues of the petitioner as per Ext.P2. Petitioner was in arrears under the Sales Tax Act. There was an amnesty scheme. According to the petitioner, he availed the benefit and it is accepted and Ext.P2 is the order passed. 30 cents of property in the joint name of the petitioner and his wife, who was the petitioner in W.P.(C). 33929 of 2006, came to be sold. However, the confirmation of the sale was not done because of the stay order in the other writ petition. Today, I have dismissed the writ petition filed by the wife of the petitioner as withdrawn. In such circumstances, there cannot be any further impediment in directing the sixth respondent to remit the amount of Rs.3,05,000/- realized by the sale of the property in question towards the dues less collection charges as expeditiously as possible. Learned Government Pleader submits that there cannot be any objection, in the light of the dismissal of the writ petition WPC.17785/2008. 2 filed by the wife of the petitioner, in remitting the sum of Rs.3,05,000/- to the second respondent. The writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to remit the sum of Rs.3,05,000/- realized by the sale of the properties in question less collection charges to the second respondent as expeditiously as possible.
