The learned Trial Judge has noted that on 13.09.2007 the writ petitioner was asked to deposit an amount of Rs.1,50,000/- out of the demand of Rs.4,30,933/-. However, the writ petitioner also did not pay the aforesaid amount and the learned Trial Judge recorded that the impugned order in the writ petition dated 04.07.2007 was passed by the 1st respondent after giving an opportunity of personal hearing and even the petitioner did not raise any dispute as to his liability to pay during the personal hearing. Under these circumstances, the learned Trial Judge found that no relief should be granted.

In view of the aforestated appreciation of the fact, we are unable to entertain this appeal and the same is accordingly dismissed having found no merit in it.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand dismissed. No order as to costs.
