JUDGMENT

The petitioner has approached this Court on account of non-acceptance of basic tax in respect of the property covered by Ext.P1.

2.

The petitioner submits that it is on account of the fact that respondents are of the view that the property is originally belonged to the scheduled tribe and it cannot be transferred in the light of the Kerala Restriction on Transfer by and Restoration of Lands to Scheduled Tribes Act, 1999.

This Court is of the view that acceptance of basic tax and possession certificate will not preclude any authority from proceeding under the above Act, if the same is available to invoke and if so warranted. Therefore, without prejudice to the above, needful shall be done by the second respondent within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
