P5 request of the petitioner for accepting payment of the building tax in respect of building No. IX/548A. According to the petitioner, in the said building the petitioner is conducting an ice cream parlour. If as stated by the petitioner, he has constructed the building legitimately and carrying on business there, I do not see any justification for declining the prayer now made before me for directing the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P5. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the respondent Panchayat shall take up Ext. P5, consider the same and pass orders as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
