                        ———————-\n<\/p>\n
           The petitioner is the registered owner of a Bus<\/p>\n
bearing     Regn.No:KL-3\/C-567.                 According     to  the<\/p>\n
petitioner, the said vehicle was sold to the 2nd<\/p>\n
respondent     by    virtue        of     Ext.P1        agreement, on<\/p>\n
12.11.2006.     Thereafter the 2nd respondent sold the<\/p>\n
vehicle into the name of the 3rd respondent by virtue of<\/p>\n
Ext.P2 agreement, on 10.11.2007. There occurred<\/p>\n
further transfers of the vehicle, by the 3rd respondent to<\/p>\n
the 4th respondent and by the 4th respondent to 5th<\/p>\n
respondent, on 24.3.2008 and on 11.6.2008 by virtue of<\/p>\n
Ext.P3 and P4 agreements. It is stated that the vehicle<\/p>\n
was under hypothecation arrangement with the 6th<\/p>\n
respondent and at the time of transfer effected by the<\/p>\n
petitioner the 2nd respondent had undertaken to pay off<\/p>\n
the liability due to the 6th respondent.\n<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).16248\/10               -2-\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      2.    Issue involved in this writ petition pertains to<\/p>\n
payment of the Motor Vehicles Tax.             According to the<\/p>\n
petitioner, to the best of his knowledge, there was no<\/p>\n
arrears till the date of Ext.P4, i.e. till 11.6.2006. Contention<\/p>\n
of the petitioner is that on the event of sale of the vehicle to<\/p>\n
the 2nd respondent, the petitioner had intimated about the<\/p>\n
transfer to the Motor Vehicles authorities concerned as<\/p>\n
provided under Section 60 of the Motor Vehicles Act.<\/p>\n
However, it is conceded that registration of the vehicle was<\/p>\n
not transferred and the same remains still in the name of<\/p>\n
the petitioner. It is further stated that the 5th respondent<\/p>\n
had committed default in payment of amounts due to the 6th<\/p>\n
respondent and the vehicle in question was surrendered to<\/p>\n
the 6th respondent, and it is remaining under custody of the<\/p>\n
6th respondent.     While so, revenue recovery steps were<\/p>\n
initiated against the petitioner for realising the arrears of<\/p>\n
Motor Vehicles Tax due for the period from 1.10.2008 to<\/p>\n
1.12.2009.      Ext.P5 is the demand notice issued under<\/p>\n
Section 7 of the Kerala Revenue Recovery Act for realising a<\/p>\n
sum of Rs.2,66,438\/-.\n<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).16248\/10                -3-\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      3.    Petitioner is challenging the recovery steps on the<\/p>\n
ground that there is liability for payment of Motor Vehicles<\/p>\n
tax by the person who is in possession of the vehicle. Since<\/p>\n
the petitioner had parted with possession of the vehicle as<\/p>\n
early as in the year 2006, he is not liable for payment of the<\/p>\n
amount now demanded, which is for the period during<\/p>\n
2008-’09. It is also contended that the financier who had re-<\/p>\n
possessed the vehicle could not deny liability for payment of<\/p>\n
tax and hence the recovery steps initiated against the<\/p>\n
petitioner is unsustainable. Yet another contention is that<\/p>\n
since the Motor Vehicles Tax is a charge on the vehicle as<\/p>\n
per Section 13(2) of the Kerala Motor Vehicle Taxation Act,<\/p>\n
the vehicle in question is liable to be proceeded against.<\/p>\n
      4.    The petitioner had raised a further contention<\/p>\n
that at the time when the vehicle was transferred by the<\/p>\n
petitioner to the 2nd         respondent   the hypothecation<\/p>\n
agreement was also transferred into the name of the 2nd<\/p>\n
respondent. It was contended that since the 6th respondent<\/p>\n
had entered into a hypothecation agreement with the 2nd<\/p>\n
respondent,     the   obligation   of  the   petitioner  stood<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).16248\/10               -4-\n<\/p>\n
terminated.     In this regard the petitioner had produced<\/p>\n
additional documents, Ext.P6 to P11. From Ext.P6 to P8<\/p>\n
receipts it is evident that the 6th respondent had received<\/p>\n
payments of Rs.15,000\/- each from the 2nd respondent on<\/p>\n
9.5.2008, 30.5.2008 and 11.4.2008 respectively. Ext.P9 is a<\/p>\n
lawyer notice caused by the 6th respondent to the 2nd<\/p>\n
respondent and his wife, demanding payment of the balance<\/p>\n
amount due under the hypothecation agreement and also<\/p>\n
intimating appointment of an arbitrator. Ext.P10 and P11<\/p>\n
are the notices caused by the arbitrator so appointed about<\/p>\n
the proceedings initiated under the Arbitration and<\/p>\n
Conciliation Act 1996.\n<\/p>\n
      5.    In a statement filed on behalf of the 1st respondent<\/p>\n
it is mentioned that there exists arrears of tax due with<\/p>\n
respect to the vehicle, for the period from 1.10.2008 to<\/p>\n
31.12.2009.       It is further mentioned that a memo<\/p>\n
demanding payment of tax to the tune of Rs.1,83,750\/- was<\/p>\n
issued to the petitioner as per Ext.R1(a), which was<\/p>\n
acknowledged by the petitioner as evidenced from Ext.R1<\/p>\n
(b) postal acknowledgment card. But the petitioner had<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).16248\/10              -5-\n<\/p>\n
failed to respond to the notice nor he had filed any appeal<\/p>\n
against the demand as provided under Section 13(2). It is<\/p>\n
contended that the petitioner being the registered owner is<\/p>\n
liable for payment of the tax amount, as per provisions<\/p>\n
under Section 9(2) of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Taxation<\/p>\n
Act. It was also pointed out by the 1st respondent that the<\/p>\n
vehicle in question is not traceable and a report in this<\/p>\n
regard was submitted by the Assistant Motor Vehicles<\/p>\n
Inspector as per Ext.R1(c).\n<\/p>\n
      6.    From the facts and circumstances as stated<\/p>\n
above, it is evident that the vehicle in question was<\/p>\n
transferred by the petitioner to the 2nd respondent and such<\/p>\n
transfer was accepted by the 6th respondent.       It is also<\/p>\n
evident that there was subsequent transfer of possession of<\/p>\n
the vehicle by the 2nd respondent to the 3rd respondent and<\/p>\n
further transfers in favour of respondents 4 and 5. It is also<\/p>\n
contended that the vehicle was ultimately taken over<\/p>\n
possession by the 6th respondent and the same was in their<\/p>\n
custody. The arrears of tax sought to be realised pertains<\/p>\n
to the period from 1.10.2008 to 31.12.2009 whereas the<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).16248\/10              -6-\n<\/p>\n
transfer of the vehicle was effected by the petitioner by<\/p>\n
virtue of Ext.P1 as early as on 12.11.2006. At the same time<\/p>\n
it is evident that the petitioner continues to be the<\/p>\n
registered owner of the vehicle. Eventhough it is evident<\/p>\n
that the petitioner had not responded to Ext.R1(a) notice<\/p>\n
and had not taken any effective challenge against the<\/p>\n
demand, I am of the considered opinion that the matter<\/p>\n
requires an enquiry and adjudication at the hands of the 1st<\/p>\n
respondent for fixing the liability for payment of the arrears<\/p>\n
of tax. This is especially because of the fact that the vehicle<\/p>\n
was allegedly in the possession of the 6th respondent.<\/p>\n
      7.    Under such circumstances the writ petition is<\/p>\n
disposed of directing the 1st respondent to conduct an<\/p>\n
adjudication for the purpose of fixing liability with respect<\/p>\n
to payment of arrears of Motor Vehicles Tax due on the<\/p>\n
vehicle bearing Regn.No.KL-3\/C-567, after issuing notice to<\/p>\n
the petitioner and respondents 2 to 6, and after affording<\/p>\n
opportunity to them to adduce documentary evidence in<\/p>\n
support of their claim. A decision in this regard shall be<\/p>\n
taken by the 1st respondent at the earliest, at any rate<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).16248\/10             -7-\n<\/p>\n
within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a<\/p>\n
copy of this judgment.\n<\/p>\n
      8.    Till such time orders are passed by the 1st<\/p>\n
respondent as directed above, further steps of recovery<\/p>\n
initiated pursuant to Ext.P5 notice shall be kept in<\/p>\n
abeyance.\n<\/p>\n
      9.    Needless to say that if any of the parties are<\/p>\n
aggrieved by such decision taken, it will be left open for<\/p>\n
them to pursue remedies as provided under the statute<\/p>\n
before the appropriate appellate authority.<\/p>\n
