BY R S SHANAVASKHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 18772 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 7th DAY OF JULY, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the owner of an apartment. First respondent has issued a demolition notice regarding a portion of the construction of the ground floor. According to the petitioner, the property tax is not being received on account of pendency of that issue. I do not find that it is justifiable to delay the question of collection of property tax from the petitioner, particularly when writ petitions were filed by some of the occupants of other apartments in the same building and the builder of the apartment had moved this court and obtained certain orders. Therefore without expressing anything on merits, it is ordered that if the petitioner makes appropriate application for receipt of property tax and for any other relief incidental to the ownership of the apartment, the first respondent will consider it and issue orders within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. All other issues left open. THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/8/7
