Ext.P11 is the proceedings assessing building tax on a residential building owned by the petitioner. Ext.P12 is the formal assessment order in the prescribed format. Ext.P13 is the demand notice. Against those orders, the petitioner has got a right of appeal before the RDO. Therefore, it is unnecessary for this Court to entertain this Writ Petition. All the grievances urged by the petitioner against the impugned orders can be canvassed before the appellate authority and reliefs can be sought. If the petitioner pays 1/4th of the amount demanded under Ext.P13, the appeal shall be entertained without insisting for payment of the entire amount. Subject to this direction, the Writ Petition is dismissed without prejudice to the contentions of the petitioner and his right to invoke the appellate remedy. 16.03.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
