                                        JUDGMENT

The petitioner’s case is that though he is in arrears of sales tax, he is

entitled to get compensation from Government in land acquisition

proceedings. If any land is acquired for Government purpose and

compensation is awarded, then petitioner is entitled to get it adjusted

towards sales tax arrears. The petitioner is directed to approach the District

Collector and make a request for adjustment of compensation payable to

him towards arrears of sales tax for the Collector to order adjustment and

inform the concerned sales tax authority.

The W.P. is disposed of as above.
