The specific case of the petitioners is that, the buildings<\/p>\n<p>concerned are two separate structures situated in two different premises<\/p>\n<p>owned by the husband and wife separately, which ought not to have been<\/p>\n<p>reckoned as &#8216;single unit&#8217; for the propose of assessment under any<\/p>\n<p>circumstances. It is stated that the husband purchased the property as per<\/p>\n<p>the settlement deed No. 2407\/03, wherein no building was there at the time<\/p>\n<p>of purchase and the husband constructed the building in the year 2004. In<\/p>\n<p>the case of the other property owned by the wife of the first petitioner i.e.<\/p>\n<p>second petitioner, it was obtained as per the title deed bearing No 5139 of<\/p>\n<p>2004, wherein a building was already in existence bearing door No. CC<\/p>\n<p>8\/601 and this building was there right from 1973 onwards. With regard to<\/p>\n<p>the construction of the first petitioner&#8217;s building, the same has been<\/p>\n<p>effected on the basis of Ext. P1 plan obtained in the name of the first<\/p>\n<p>W.P. (C) No. 1482 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>petitioner himself and Ext. P2 occupancy certificate has been issued clearly<\/p>\n<p>pointing out that it is having only an extent of 182.52 sq.m.         The said<\/p>\n<p>building has been constructed by the first petitioner in such a manner that<\/p>\n<p>it is placed so close to the existing building in the name of the second<\/p>\n<p>petitioner\/wife in the property covered by document No. 5139 of 2004,<\/p>\n<p>which does not tilt the balance in any manner so as to classify the two<\/p>\n<p>buildings as a &#8216;single unit&#8217;.   It is contended that, since the buildings are<\/p>\n<p>owned by the petitioners separately, in the two different properties owned,<\/p>\n<p>possessed and enjoyed by them, they cannot be treated and assessed as<\/p>\n<p>a &#8216;single unit&#8217; and that the assessment has to be finalized treating them<\/p>\n<p>separately.   In spite of the factual position as above, the assessment<\/p>\n<p>authority finalized the assessment, imposing a huge liability, treating the<\/p>\n<p>two buildings as &#8216;single unit&#8217;, against which statutory appeal was preferred<\/p>\n<p>by the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>       3. In the course of the proceedings pending before the appellate<\/p>\n<p>authority, the petitioner produced all the relevant documents to substantiate<\/p>\n<p>the contentions.     However without any proper regard to the facts and<\/p>\n<p>figures, the appellate authority declined interference, which made the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner to approach this Court by filing the present Writ Petition.<\/p>\n<p>       4. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well, who submits,<\/p>\n<p>with reference to the materials on record, that, in the course of the<\/p>\n<p>W.P. (C) No. 1482 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>proceedings, the nature of the building was actually got verified by the<\/p>\n<p>concerned Tahasildar, who        conducted a spot inspection, when it was<\/p>\n<p>revealed that the building was a &#8216;single unit&#8217; and that the plan for<\/p>\n<p>constructing the building was in the name of the first petitioner. However,<\/p>\n<p>the specific averments raised from the part of the petitioner that the<\/p>\n<p>buildings were having two separate door numbers, two separate access<\/p>\n<p>and such other vital particulars have not been chosen to be rebutted, but<\/p>\n<p>for the observations made in Ext. P10 that the building has been<\/p>\n<p>constructed as a &#8216;single unit&#8217;. Even going by Ext. P10, it is seen that some<\/p>\n<p>confusion was there with regard to the nature of the building, in so far as<\/p>\n<p>the appellate authority\/first respondent has referred to the building as a<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;flat&#8221;, when nobody has a case that the petitioners constructed any flat in<\/p>\n<p>the property concerned.       The learned Government Pleader also submits<\/p>\n<p>that if the petitioners are actually aggrieved of the verdict passed by the<\/p>\n<p>first respondent, there is a further remedy by way of revision as<\/p>\n<p>contemplated under Section 13 of the Act, by approaching the District<\/p>\n<p>Collector.\n<\/p>\n<p>        5. Considering the fact that there is a serious dispute with regard to<\/p>\n<p>the factual particulars and more so in view of the wrong reference made by<\/p>\n<p>the first appellate authority to the building as a &#8216;flat&#8217; in Ext. P10, this Court<\/p>\n<p>finds it necessary to have the matter considered by the statutory authority.<\/p>\n<p>W.P. (C) No. 1482 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Since the matter was admitted by this Court on 15.01.2010, also granting<\/p>\n<p>interim order of &#8216;status quo&#8217;, this Court finds that, the petitioner can be<\/p>\n<p>relegated to file a revision petition under Section 13 and if any such<\/p>\n<p>revision petition is filed within &#8216;one month&#8217; from the date of receipt of a copy<\/p>\n<p>of the judgment, the same shall considered as valid and proper revision<\/p>\n<p>petition and it shall be dealt with and decided on merits, after causing a re-<\/p>\n<p>inspection\/verification of the nature of the building by the revisional<\/p>\n<p>authority i.e. 3rd respondent. The petitioners shall produce all the relevant<\/p>\n<p>documents in support of the contentions before the revision authority; on<\/p>\n<p>which event, the same shall be considered and the matter shall be finalized<\/p>\n<p>as above, within a period of three months.\n<\/p>\n<p>        Taking note of the fact that, the petitioner has satisfied a sum of `<\/p>\n<p>8,000\/-, pursuant to the interim order passed by this Court on 15.01.10, the<\/p>\n<p>third respondent shall consider whether any further amount is liable to be<\/p>\n<p>paid, to top up the figure, for meeting the statutory deposit of 50 % of the<\/p>\n<p>disputed liability, to entertain the revision petition as provided under the Act<\/p>\n<p>and if any deficit is there, the petitioner shall be given an opportunity to<\/p>\n<p>have it rectified\/satisfied accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p>       The Writ Petition is disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                     P.
