But, the K.F.C voices the apprehension that it may be made liable for paying the collection charges, as the amount has been paid only after the initiation of the revenue recovery proceedings. If the revenue recovery officer has not recovered and paid any amount to the K.F.C., it need not pay any revenue recovery charges. It is so declared and the writ petition is closed. 21st March, 2007.
