                                           JUDGMENT

H.L.Dattu,C.J.

Exhibit P4 is an order passed by the Joint Regional Transport

Officer, Chengannur dated 2.2.2007. By the impugned order, the Joint R.T.O.

has rejected the application filed by the appellant for exemption from payment of

motor vehicle tax for the quarter ending 31/03/2007.

(2) In our view, if for any reason the appellant is aggrieved by

Exhibit P4 order, necessarily he has to file an appropriate appeal before the

appropriate forum provided under the statute. If for any reason the appellate

authority does not entertain the appeal, then only he can approach this Court.

For the present, we are of the opinion that the learned Single Judge has not

committed any error whatsoever. Therefore, interference with the said order is

not called for. Accordingly, the appeal requires to be rejected and it is rejected.

Ordered accordingly.
