J U D G M E N T It is submitted by learned counsel appearing on both sides that, the entire arrears along with collection charges at the rate of 1% has already been remitted by the petitioner. Hence the challenge raised in this writ petition no more survives for consideration. 2. However, it is brought to my notice by the respondents that there is a challenge now pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, with respect to the rate of collection charges which can be levied in the matter of revenue recovery proceedings. 3. It is made clear that, if ultimately it is found that collection charges can be levied at a higher rate, the respondents will be free to raise demand against the petitioner. 4. The writ petition is accordingly closed reserving liberty to the respondents for demanding collection charges subject to final outcome of the matter pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
