Prayer: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying to Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondent to accept the payment of water and sewerage tax on the basis of annual letting value at Rs.82,009/- in view of the pendecy of W.P.No.4922 of 2010.

O R D E R

The petitioner seeks a mandamus directing the respondents to accept a certain amount as water and sewerage tax based on the annual letting value at a sum of Rs.82,009/-, in view of pendency of WP.No.4922 of 2010.

2.Neither of the learned counsels are in a position to appraise the Court of the fate of WP.No.4922 of 2010. At any rate, I am of the categoric view that mandamus cannot lie in such a matter as a fixation of both annual letting value as well as water and sewerage tax is based on various factual particulars that are to be reckoned by the authorities. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

3.This writ petition thus has no merit and is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
