Kerala High Court<\/div>\n
K.Natarajan vs The Excise Commissioner on 24 June, 2008<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nWP(C).No. 11935 of 2008(U)\n\n\n1. K.NATARAJAN,AGED 69 YEARS\n                      ...

Justice ANTONY DOMINIC\n\n Dated :24\/06\/2008\n\n O R D E R\n                         ANTONY DOMINIC, J.\n              --------------------------------------------------------\n                        W.P.(C) 11935 of 2008\n              --------------------------------------------------------\n                         Dated: JUNE 24, 2008\n\n                                 JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n
      Petitioner was a contractor and FL.1 licensee during the<\/p>\n
year 1967-68 to 1970-71.             Default was committed leading to<\/p>\n
revenue recovery proceedings.              That resulted in an auction held<\/p>\n
on 26.3.2008 whereby the 6th respondent purchased certain<\/p>\n
immovable properties of the petitioner for Rs.20 lakhs and had<\/p>\n
deposited    Rs.3 lakhs being the 15% of the auction amount.<\/p>\n
Petitioner filed Ext.P3 objection              invoking section 54 of the<\/p>\n
Kerala Revenue Recovery Act and, contending that the said<\/p>\n
objection is pending, this writ petition was filed challenging the<\/p>\n
revenue recovery proceedings.\n<\/p>\n
      2. On 8.4.2008 this court passed an interim order staying<\/p>\n
confirmation of the sale on condition that the petitioner remits<\/p>\n
Rs.3 lakhs. Petitioner submits that for recovery of the amount<\/p>\n
due from him, the respondent had already attached the rent of a<\/p>\n
cashew factory that was leased out to the Kerala State Cashew<\/p>\n
Development Corporation Ltd..                 According to the petitioner,<\/p>\n
under cover of Ext.P5 letter dated 15.4.2008, the Kerala State<\/p>\n
Cashew Development Corporation had given a cheque to the 5th<\/p>\n
WP(C) 11935\/2008                 2<\/span><\/p>\n
respondent for an amount of Rs.1,33,494\/-. Petitioner has also<\/p>\n
paid an amount of Rs.1,66,506\/- and thus, according to him, a<\/p>\n
total amount of Rs.3 lakhs was paid in compliance with the<\/p>\n
interim order.\n<\/p>\n
     3.     Though the petitioner sought adjustment of the<\/p>\n
payment made by the         Kerala State Cashew Development<\/p>\n
Corporation towards the Rs.3 lakhs payable under the order<\/p>\n
dated 8.4.2008, that was declined by the 4th respondent by<\/p>\n
Ext.P4 on the ground that though payment was made after the<\/p>\n
order was passed, the cheque was of a date prior to the date of<\/p>\n
the interim order.\n<\/p>\n
     4. While the above controversy was remaining unresolved,<\/p>\n
Ext.P7 Amnesty Scheme was introduced by the respondents on<\/p>\n
26.5.2008, in terms of which a defaulter like the petitioner can<\/p>\n
get himself exonerated of the liability on payment of 75% of the<\/p>\n
principal amount due.     According to the petitioner, he applied<\/p>\n
for availing of the benefit of Ext.P7 and by Ext.P9 issued by the<\/p>\n
2nd respondent on 13.6.2008, he was informed of the acceptance<\/p>\n
of his application. By this communication he was further asked<\/p>\n
to remit Rs.4,33,085\/- being the 75% of the total liability of<\/p>\n
Rs.5,77,446\/- for settlement of his liability.<\/p>\n
     5. Though the petitioner filed this writ petition challenging<\/p>\n
WP(C) 11935\/2008                  3<\/span><\/p>\n
the revenue recovery auction which resulted in the sale of his<\/p>\n
immovable properties in favour of the 6th respondent, what is<\/p>\n
now sought for by the petitioner is that the payment of Rs.3<\/p>\n
lakhs already made by him may be adjusted towards the dues<\/p>\n
under Ext.P7 Amnesty Scheme and he may be permitted to pay<\/p>\n
the balance amount and thus be relieved of the liability.<\/p>\n
      6. As already noticed, it was the 6th respondent who was<\/p>\n
the successful bidder in the revenue auction. Though notice has<\/p>\n
been served on him, there is no appearance on his behalf.<\/p>\n
      7. As per Ext.P9, petitioner can get himself exonerated of<\/p>\n
the liability if he pays a total amount of Rs.4,33,085\/-. Thus by<\/p>\n
Ext.P9 the entitlement of the petitioner of the benefit of Ext.P7<\/p>\n
Amnesty Scheme has been accepted by the 2nd respondent. It is<\/p>\n
not in controversy that towards the very liability, already Rs.3<\/p>\n
lakhs has been paid. Since the total liability of the petitioner as<\/p>\n
indicated in Ext.P9 is only Rs.4,33,085\/-, what remains unpaid by<\/p>\n
the petitioner is only Rs.1,33,085\/-. Now that the petitioner has<\/p>\n
already paid Rs.3 lakhs as above, I feel that once the petitioner<\/p>\n
pays the balance due, the petitioner should be relieved of his<\/p>\n
liability.\n<\/p>\n
      8.   Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of directing<\/p>\n
that if the petitioner makes payment of the balance sum of<\/p>\n
WP(C) 11935\/2008                 4<\/span><\/p>\n
Rs.1,33,085\/- before 28.6.2008 on which date15 days of Ext.P9<\/p>\n
expires, the petitioner should be relieved of his liability.<\/p>\n
      9. Though the learned Government Pleader has raised a<\/p>\n
plea that since the sale was conducted by the revenue recovery<\/p>\n
authorities and that the sale was settled in favour of the 6th<\/p>\n
respondent, the petitioner is liable to pay collection charges. I<\/p>\n
am not prepared to accept that plea. This is for the reason that<\/p>\n
in terms of Ext.P7, once an offer is accepted and payments are<\/p>\n
made, if any revenue recovery action is already initiated, the<\/p>\n
same is to be withdrawn and collection charges are to be waived.<\/p>\n
In view of this, it cannot be claimed by the State that they are<\/p>\n
entitled to collection charges once the defaulter is given the<\/p>\n
benefit of Ext.P7 and payment is made thereunder.<\/p>\n
      Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that if<\/p>\n
the petitioner makes payment of the balance amount of<\/p>\n
Rs.1,33,085\/- before 28.6.2008, the petitioner will be relieved of<\/p>\n
his liability and as a necessary consequence thereof, the sale<\/p>\n
conducted on 26.3.2008 will stand set aside.<\/p>\n
