              Dated, this the 31st day of July, 2008

                            J U D G M E N T

Petitioner is in this Court, a second round, challenging demand

of arrears of tax for the period commencing from 01/07/1999 to

30/06/2000. Even though petitioner has a case that the vehicle

was repossessed by the financier and consequently petitioner is

entitled to exemption based on Form G furnished, learned

Government Pleader submitted that in the course of enquiry by the

RTO, the financier confirmed that vehicle was not repossessed by

them as claimed by petitioner. Consequently demand is sustained.

In the circumstances, the writ petition is devoid of any merit and is

dismissed. If petitioner has paid 50%, then only balance will be

recovered with interest.

(C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE)
