CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,JJ. SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,JJ. SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,JJ. DATED : 21ST APRIL, 2009. DATED : 21ST APRIL, 2009. DATED : 21ST APRIL, 2009. P.C.:- P.C.:- P.C.:- 1. This Petition has been filed challenging the appointment of respondent No.3 as Police Patil on the ground that he was disqualified to have been appointed in view of condition No.12 in the proclamation issued for appointment of Police Patil. Condition No.12 envisaged that the applicant should not be in arrears of any amount payable to the Government. The petitioner contends that on the day of the selection, respondent No.3 was in arrears of Rs.260/- towards the Grampanchayat. He has annexed a certificate issued on 4.9.2008 issued by the Village .{2}. Development Officer. This certificate shows that the dues till 31st March, 2008 of Rs.260/- were in the name of Ramchandra Phakira Avad. According to him, the 3rd respondent is son of the deceased. It is not known to this Court whether the property left behind by deceased Ramchandra Fakira Avad was inherited by respondent No.3 or not. In any case, we do not find that even there is violation of condition No.12 of the proclamation because an amount of Rs.260/- outstanding on 31st March, 2008, would not, in our view, be taken as an outstanding for the purpose of disqualification because payment of the tax is a continuous process. In this case particularly the outstanding was upto 31st March, 2008 and there was no long outstanding. Writ Petition is dismissed.
