JUDGMENT

This is a writ petition seeking a direction to the respondent to grant the petitioner installments to clear the arrears of tax under the Kerala Motor Vehicles Act. Other than a bland statement in the writ petition that the vehicle is having huge tax arrears from 01.01.2014 till 31.03.2015, there is no mention in the writ petition of any demand having been served on the petitioner for recovery of the said tax amounts. That apart, there is no document produced to show the total amount of tax, that is in arrears. Under the said circumstances, the prayers sought for in the writ petition cannot be granted to the petitioner. The writ petition fails, and is accordingly dismissed as not maintainable.
