                           W.P.(C) No.22534 of 2004
                 ....................................................................
                Dated this the 27th day of November, 2007.

                                        JUDGMENT

The W.P. is filed challenging recovery proceedings for recovery of

arrears of motor vehicle tax. Since petitioner has claimed that vehicle was

garaged somewhere, this court directed seizure of vehicle by the Police on

intimation by the petitioner. Even though interim order was passed on

3.8.2004, petitioner does not appear to have followed up the matter or traced

the vehicle. It was made clear in the order that stay will take effect only

from the date the vehicle was taken possession by the Police. Since

petitioner has not complied with the interim order, challenge against the

demand is not tenable and the W.P. is dismissed.
