PETITIONER AND Municipal Corporation of Kurnool, Rep. by its Commissioner, Kurnool, Kurnool District. .....RESPONDENT The Hon’ble Sri Justice Bilal Nazki and The Hon’ble Sri Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao Writ Petition No.1902 of 2007 Order: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Bilal Nazki) It appears that the writ petitioner moved an application before the respondent- Muncipal Corporation requesting them to assess the house site patta property bearing No.41/592/2A situated in Survey No.140/A2 of the Kothapeta, Kurnool District, owned by him to property tax. The respondent rejected his request vide proceedings in Rc.No.9457/2002/G2/A6, dated 05-08-2006, on the ground that according to the Mandal Revenue Oﬃcer’s report and the Assistant City Planner of Kurnool Municipal Corporation, the property in question did not belong to the petitioner. If the Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation states that no tax will be levied against the petitioner, as he is not the owner of the property, for which, he is oﬀering the tax, it is for the petitioner to establish his ownership over that property. This Court in these writ proceedings would not be able to decide the rival claims of the parties. The writ petition is misconceived and it is, accordingly, dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to seek any other remedy that may be available to him in law. No costs. _________________________ (Bilal Nazki, J) 5th February, 2007 __________________________ (Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J) lur
