THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.358 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioners are running shops at Zaheerabad in the premises owned by Medak District Cooperative Marketing Society Limited, respondent No.2 herein. The premises were leased to them under an agreement. One of the conditions of the agreement is that respondent No.2 shall pay the property tax for the premises during the subsistence of the agreement. Respondent No.1 issued a notice, dated 19.06.2006, demanding a sum of Rs.1,49,633/- as arrears of the property tax from the petitioners. On the ground that the amount was not paid, the shops were seized. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1. The petitioners are not the owners of the premises. Admittedly, the premises are owned by respondent No.2. It is not known as to on what basis respondent No.1 issued the notice to the petitioner. At the most, a copy of the notice could have been marked to respondent No.2. While admitting the writ petition, this Court passed an interim order on 04.01.2007 directing that the seizure of the shops shall be raised on payment of half of the tax amount. It is stated that the condition has since been complied with. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to respondent No.1 to take steps against respondent No.2 for recovery of the arrears of property tax, if any. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 10.02.2011. kdl
