Meena Kumari, J) This writ petition is ﬁled by an Ex-Servicemen Association seeking a direction to the respondents to implement GO Ms. No. 83, M.A., dated 15.3.1997 issued by the 1st respondent. The said GO exempts payment of property tax in respect of Ex-Servicemen and Widows of Ex-Servicemen and concession in water supply tariﬀ. In our opinion, this writ petition is not maintainable, as it is ﬁled by an Ex-Servicemen Association. If the tax is demanded from the individual members, it is for them to work out their remedies against the demand of tax, if they so desire. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________ T. MEENA KUMARI, J _________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Dt.1.9.2008 KR .....
