"This is an old matter of the year 2001. By this writ petition, the petitioner challenged the demand notice issued by the respondent on 15.11.2001. By this notice, a sum of Rs.1,17,880/- has been demanded on account of House Tax.

While entertaining the writ petition, this Court was pleased to grant interim suspension on 3.1.2002. Since then the interim suspension is in operation. No counter affidavit has been filed to challenge the same nor any attempt has been made by the respondent to get the aforesaid interim order vacated. Under the circumstances, we think that justice would be sub-served if the following order is passed.
