It is stated that despite the same, apparently, on account of pendency of SLP No.14241/2008, basic tax is not accepted by the first respondent. It is complaining of the above, the writ petition is filed. 2. So long as mutation of the property stands in their name, petitioners are entitled to pay tax in respect of the property and the respondents are liable to accept the same. In that view of the matter, I direct that, on the production of a copy of this judgment, the respondents will accept the basic tax in respect of the property covered by Exts.P6 and P7 so long as those orders remaining in force. Needless to say that W.P.(C) No.33454/10 : 2 : such payment will be subject to the outcome of the SLP pending. 3. Petitioners to produce a copy of this judgment and writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks
