                   Dated this the 17th day of November, 2008

                                    JUDGMENT

Petitioner challenges Exts.P11 and P11(a), which are notices

issued under the Revenue Recovery Act, seeks a direction to restrain

respondents 1 to 4 from taking any coercive step to recover the amount

demanded as per Exts.P11 and P11(a) and for a declaration that Exts.P11

and P11(a) are issued without jurisdiction and in violation of Ext.P1

agreement and that the amount demanded is not an amount due within the

meaning of Section 71 of the Revenue Recovery Act. He also seeks a

direction to the third respondent to dispose of Ext.P12 objection and to

restrain respondents 2 to 4 from further proceedings pursuant to Exts.P11

and P11(a).

2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner Sri. Rajan Babu,

learned counsel appearing for the second respondent and the learned

Government Pleader.

3. Petitioner approached this court earlier and it culminated in

Ext.P7 judgment. Therein the writ petition came to be closed leaving

freedom to respondents 1 and 3 to proceed for recovery. Ext.P10 is an order

passed in AR. 41 of 2005, that is apparently an arbitration case filed by the

WPC.30463/2008. 2

petitioner, which came to be dismissed finding that there is no justification

to entertain the petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that

the petitioner has moved a review petition in Exts.P7 and P10.

4. I feel that having regard to Exts.P7 and P10 judgment I need

not consider the question raised in the writ petition and this writ petition is

dismissed. But this will be without prejudice to the contentions of the

petitioner in the review petitions filed against Exts.P7 and P10.

(K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE)
