PLEADER SHRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 25231 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 12th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that the respondents are refusing to accept land tax in respect of her property on the ground that the said property is involved in a ceiling case. According to the petitioner, the fact that a ceiling case is pending is no ground for refusing to accept land tax. In support of her contention, the petitioner relies on Ext.P2 judgment of this Court. The petitioner has, therefore, filed Ext.P3 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 in the light of Ext.P2 judgment. 2. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the facts of Ext.P2 judgment may not be similar to the petitioner's case and, therefore, the petitioner's case has to be considered independently. 3. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. It would be open to the petitioner to produce and rely on Ext.P2 judgment, the applicability of w.p.c.25231/10 2 which to the petitioner's case shall also be considered by the 1st respondent in accordance with law.
