THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.24882 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners in this writ petition are aggrieved by non- acceptance of basic tax in respect of their properties. It is submitted by the learned Government pleader that the tax could not be accepted because in the same survey number, in which the petitioners’ property lie, there are puramboke lands and only after surveying and demarcating the land, the land tax can be accepted. The learned Government Pleader would try to complete the process by demarcating and surveying the land on 21.9.2008. This submission is recorded and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction that if the process cannot be completed by that date, the basic tax shall be accepted from the petitioners subject to further proceedings in the matter, after completing the survey and demarcation. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
