This Writ Petition is filed, seeking for a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondent to consider the petitioner's representation, dated 25.07.2016, to receive the road tax amount and release the tractor bearing registration No.TN-74 P-2691.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that since the petitioner failed to pay dues to a private finance company, the vehicle in question was seized by the respondents and therefore, he could not pay the road tax. However, he is ready to pay the road tax as on date and after making such payment, the vehicle in question may be released by the respondent. 3.

Mr.T.R.Janarthanam, learned Additional Government Pleader, after taking notice for the respondent, submitted that if the entire road tax for the vehicle in question including the arrears is paid, the respondent will consider the case of the petitioner.
