                   -----------------------------------
                        O.P. No. 7784 of 2003
                     ---------------------------------
           Dated, this the 20th day of November, 2007

                            J U D G M E N T

Petitioner’s grievance is that his application for sales tax

exemption is not granted by the Khadi Board for the reason that the

original petition filed by the petitioner against the Khadi Board was

pending in this Court. It is seen that O.P.No.23593/2002 was

disposed of by this Court on 13/07/2006, wherein, the dispute on

petitioner’s challenge against rate of interest is referred back to the

Khadi Board for their decision. In view of this judgment, the Khadi

Board can no longer withhold petitioner’s application for sales tax

exemption. This original petition is, accordingly, disposed of

directing the 1st respondent to consider petitioner’s application and

pass orders, based on relevant notifications, within a period of two

months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

(C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE)
