This original petition is filed by the petitioner challenging notices
issued under the Kerala Stamp Act for recovery of deficit stamp duty
on the ground that the document has been undervalued. This original
petition was admitted on 31.12.1999. The petitioner has not been able
to serve notice on the respondents. Even otherwise, I do not think that
the proceedings in this original petition should be continued in so far as
what is under challenge is only notice to the petitioner directing him to
file representation as to why the deficit stamp duty should not be
recovered from him. The petitioner can very well place his objections
against the proposal before the authority who has issued the notices.
Without prejudice to such right, this original petition is dismissed.
