2.The grievance of the petitioner is that pursuant to the settlement deed, dated 23.02.2012, effected by her son, in favour of her, she sought for tax assessment in her name, for which she had already submitted a representation dated 05.05.2016, to the third and fourth respondents enclosing all the relevant documents.
