Petitioner had filed this writ petition challenging Ext.P5 order and for a direction to declare that the petitioner is not liable for the non payment of defaulted amount of the 6th and 7th respondents. The issue is related to demand in respect of motor transport workers welfare fund payable to the third respondent. The petitioner claims that he was a subsequent purchaser of the land which was attached and therefore, he should not be mulcted with the liability. 2. Learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the third respondent submits that during the pendency of the above writ petition, the respondents 6 and 7 have availed of one time settlement facility and have paid the dues which was assessed at Rs.1,31,737. The revenue recovery proceedings were also withdrawn.
3. Having regard to the aforesaid submission made by learned Standing Counsel for the third respondent, I do not think that there is any necessity to proceed with the writ petition any further.
W.P.(C)No.15241 OF 2014 : 2 :
However, it is pointed out that there might be a demand for collection charges of 5% by the reveneue authorities. It is made clear that since respondents 6 and 7 have paid the amount voluntarily, there is no necessity to demand the collection charges from either of the parties.
With the above observation, this writ petition is dismissed as infructuous.
