JUDGMENT

The petitioner has approached this Court on account of the refusal to accept land tax in respect of the property covered by Ext.P2.

2. In the statement filed on behalf of the first respondent it is stated that, without verifying Ext.P2 Patta, the land tax cannot be accepted.

3. Therefore, there shall be a direction to the first respondent to verify the genuineness of Ext.P2 Patta and on verification if it is found that Patta is genuine, necessarily tax shall be accepted from the petitioner. Needful shall be done within three months. The writ petition is disposed of.

A. MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, JUDGE.
