According to the petitioner, petitioner has preferred Ext.P4 Appeal, but it was not received. I heard the learned Government Pleader also. As the payment of luxuty tax is recurrent deposit, an Appeal will lie. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to accept Ext.P4, if it is presented within one week from today and take a decision thereon in accordance with law, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, within six weeks from the date of receipt of the Appeal.
