2.The learned counsel appearing for petitioner has stated that the petitioner has purchased TATA Ace Magic vehicle bearing Reg.No.TN-02-AP-8687, with a seating capacity of 7+1=8. The said vehicle is covered by Maxi Cab Permit, which is valid up to 07.11.2020. Since the said vehicle had major repairs, the petitioner was unable to pay the tax for the quarter ending 30.09.2017. Subsequently, the petitioner had approached the respondent for the payment of tax with due penalty. Due to nonpayment of tax for the quarter ending, the permit for the said vehicle was cancelled by the respondent. The learned counsel further submitted that since the petitioner has not received the order cancelling the permit, the petitioner has submitted a fresh Application Form CCPA with prescribed fees on 27.03.2018 https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

for permit. The respondent, instead of accepting the application, refused to receive the Application Form CCPA with the prescribed fees.
