ORDER

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner and the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 2 and 3.

2.By the impugned notice dated 05.06.2024, the first respondent proposes to conduct spot inspection. The object of conducting such an inspection appears to be to consider the complaint for cancellation of the property tax assessment. The impugned notice by itself does not take away the petitioner's right. If any adverse order is passed by the first respondent, it shall be issued to the petitioner immediately. It shall not be implemented for a period of three weeks thereafter. I am granting this breathing time so that the petitioner can approach the Court and obtain relief in the meanwhile. I make it clear that I have not gone into the merits of the matter. All the defences and contentions of the petitioner are left open.

2/4

3.This writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
