JUDGMENT

The limited prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 representation of the petitioner for endorsement of tax, on the basis that the vehicle is a non transport vehicle, in the registration certificate for the period from 01.05.2013.

2. I have heard Sri.K.V.Gopinathan Nair, the learned counsel for the petitioner and Smt.Sobha Annamma Eappen, the learned Government Pleader for the respondent.

On a consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made across the Bar, I direct the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 representation filed by the petitioner before him, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner. While passing orders as directed, the respondent shall take note of Ext.P3 report and the judgment of this Court in Jomon v. Tahsildar, Muvattupuzha Taluk and Others [2015 (1) KHC 1].
