J U D G M E N T

Petitioner approached this Court aggrieved by the nonacceptance of basic tax in respect of landed property situated in Survey Nos.217/2,205/6 and 200/PT of Kallamala Village. It appears that due to dispute with party respondents, the Tahsildar refused to accept basic tax from the petitioner.

2. This Court is of the view that the Tahsildar shall take appropriate decision in the matter after hearing the petitioner as well as the additional third respondent within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. This writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. sd/- A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, Judge MBS/
