Admit. Learned Special Government Pleader takes notice for the
respondents.
2. The petitioner has approached this Court to issue a writ of
Mandamus directing the respondents to accept tax for every 7 days or 30 days
or 90 days in one lump sum and not to insist upon payment of 1/10th rate of
tax, whenever the petitioner’s vehicle KL-07-AS 908 enters Tamilnadu.
3. In earlier writ petitions, similar relief as prayed for in the
present writ petition has been granted in favour of the petitioners in those
writ petitions. Therefore, this writ petition is also ordered directing the
respondents to receive tax, when it is tendered by the petitioner in advance
for 7 days or 30 days or 90 days in respect of the vehicle bearing
registration No.KL-07-AS 908.
4. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No
