The Kerala High Court directed to approach competent authority as the one-time settlement of tax was due on tipper.
The writ petition was filed to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ or order directing the respondents No.4 and 5 that road tax due in respect of vehicle tipper lorry bearing Registration No.KL-40C-7605 may be adjudicated and decided after affording the petitioner an opportunity of being heard.
The counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would approach the competent authority for one time settlement of tax due on tipper.
A Single Bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh observed that “Considering the said prayer, the present writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file an application within a period of seven days from today to the concerned competent authority for one time settlement of tax due on the said vehicle. If such an application is filed, the competent authority should take decision on the said application for one time settlement of tax liability of the petitioner. For a period of one month, the impugned recovery notice Ext.P4 shall not be enforced.”
