The petitioner is the owner of a stage carriage bearing No. KL 04 J 4849 , in respect of which tax was remitted up to 31.03.2014. It is stated that the vehicle was not used or put to use thereafter, but no 'G Form' was submitted till date. The grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the coercive proceedings being taken by the respondents for realization of the tax arrears from 01.04.2014. . Hence the writ petition.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is ready and willing to clear entire tax arrears, if some breathing time is provided, by way of reasonable installments.
3. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well.
4. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of, with liberty to the petitioner to satisfy the entire tax arrears by way of 'three' equal monthly installments; the first of which shall be effected on before 10.11.2014; followed by similar installments to be effected on before the 10th of the succeeding months. Subject to this, the W.P.(C) No. 28189 of 2014 : 2 :
coercive proceedings stated as being pursued against the petitioner shall be kept in abeyance for the time being. It is made clear that, if any default is committed with regard to repayment of the amount as above, it will be open for the respondents to proceed with further steps for realization of the entire amount in lump, from the stage where it stands now.
