W.P ( C) No.29228 of 2008

Dated this the 3rd October, 2008
J U D G M E N T
Petitioner is aggrieved by the alleged refusal on the
part of the respondents to accept the basic tax in relation to
the land having an extent of 4 ares in Sy. No.51/3,4 of
Njarakkal Village in Vypeen. There are several owners for
the said property which was originally acquired by the
petitioner’s father. There is a dispute over the attachment of
a share in the property at the instance of wife of one of the
co-owners. But that is no reason why the basic tax respect of
property should not be accepted. Of course, the remittance
of basic tax will be on behalf of other co-owners of the
property and it will not by itself result in any additional right
being conferred in favour of the person who remits the basic
tax.
There will be a direction to the respondents to accept
the basic tax in relation to the property mentioned in Exhibit-
P1.
The writ petition is disposed of as above.
(V.GIRI,JUDGE)
