                          ==============
                    W.P.(C) NO. 35548 OF 2008 (F)
                    ====================

                Dated this the 6th day of January, 2009

                              J U D G M E N T

Petitioner submits that she is the owner of 2 acre 92.5 cents of land

in Sy.No.77/176/1 of Pananchery Village. The property is mortgaged to the

KFC. In this writ petition all that the petitioner complains is that the 3rd

respondent is not accepting the tax in respect of the property and that an

application for a possession certificate has been made and that also has

not been issued. The reason according to the petitioner is that on the

basis of the mortgage executed in its favour, KFC has initiated recovery

proceedings against the property.

2. Now that the petitioner only wants that tax in respect of the

property should be accepted and that the possession certificate is issued, I

am inclined to dispose of this writ petition with the following directions.

3. That irrespective of the recovery proceedings that has been

initiated by the 3rd respondent, the petitioner being the owner of the

property, the 3rd respondent shall accept tax in respect of the property. So

long as the petitioner is in possession of the property, his application for

possession certificate is also liable to be considered by the 3rd respondent.

If the petitioner has made any such application in this behalf, necessary

WPC 35548/08
:2 :

orders shall be passed considering the same.

Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before the 3rd

respondent for compliance.
