Radhakrishnan, J. =================================== W.P.(C)No.4474 of 2004 =================================== Dated this the 5th day of July, 2007. JUDGMENT Petitioner bid the right to collect fee from a market of Kayamkulam Municipality for the year 2003-04. He did not remit the amounts due. The Municipality accordingly took action against him and issued the impugned decisions. They also issued notice for recovery of the differential on account of re-acution. I find no legal infirmity or jurisdictional error in the impugned action. Writ petition fails. It is hence dismissed. No costs. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. sl. -:2:- Thottathil B.
