Neo Seeds India Private Limited., v. State Of Telangana,

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM WRIT PETITION No.11309 OF 2016 ORDER:

This Writ Petition is filed challenging the proceedings in letter No.12, dated 08.03.2016 issued by the 2nd respondent and its consequential attachment dated 26.03.2016.

It is the case of the petitioner that as against the property tax for a sum of Rs.9,904/- for the assessment year 2012-2013, the 2nd respondent is demanding a sum of Rs.45,479/- for the assessment year 2013-2014, a sum of Rs.47,753/- for the assessment year 2014-2015 and Rs.50,140/- for the assessment year 2015-2016 and that the special notice as required under Rule 9 notified under G.O.Ms.No.30, P.R.& R.D. dated 30.01.1995 has not been issued.

Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent-Grampanchayat opposed the writ petition and states that the enhancement is only with respect to assessment and not with respect to the rate. He further submits that on that account, the petitioner is entitled to seek revision by invoking Rule 10 of the A.P.Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 (for short 'the Act') before the Executive Authority.

In that view of the matter and having regard to the submissions made and since the petitioner has not

challenged the assessment order before this Court and he challenged only the order of demand, liberty is given to the petitioner to file a revision under Rule 10 of the Act, within two weeks from today before the Executive Authority. However, the special notice, as required under Rule 9 notified under G.O.Ms.No.30, P.R.& R.D. dated 30.01.1995 has not been issued to the petitioner, the attachment warrant dated 26.03.2016 shall stand suspended till disposal of the revision.

With the above observations and directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any pending in this writ petition shall also stand closed.
