Subsequent to the filing of this writ petition petitioner has produced Ext. P3 communication dated 23.10.2007 issued by the Divisional Manager of the 1st respondent stating that since the driver who drove the vehicle at the relevant time was duly licensed, they were requesting the Revenue Recovery Authority to recall the revenue recovery notice so that the insured may be spared from further harassment. 2. When this matter came up for hearing it was adjourned with a direction to the Standing Counsel for the 1st respondent to take instructions on the genuineness of Ext. P3. Today, on instruction, the learned Standing Counsel for the 1st respondent confirms that W.P.(C) No. 33740 OF 2007 -2- Ext. P3 was issued by the 1st respondent. 3. Now that the genuineness of Ext. P3 has been confirmed by the 1st respondent, there is no justification for respondents 2 and 3 to continue the revenue recovery action against the petitioner. 4. For that reason Ext. P2 notice issued against the petitioner will stand quashed. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
