9.1.2006 contending that the petitioner was the owner of the stage carriage vehicle bearing registration 'No.KL 12/B 4035' and that steps were initiated against him in the course of enquiry regarding fixation of the quantum payable in respect of the contribution under the Kerala Motor Transport Workers' Welfare Fund Act. It has been stated that, even though enquiry notice was issued, followed by the provisional determination order, there was no response from the part of the petitioner and no statement of objection was ever filed, under which circumstances, the first respondent passed the final determination order in respect of the year 2003-04 and the same was sent to the petitioner which was acknowledged by him on 4.1.2005. Despite the service of the final determination order, the petitioner did not choose to challenge the same by filing any appeal nor he did not choose to remit the amount. It was accordingly that necessary requisition was made to realise the amount by invoking the provisions under the Revenue Recovery Act, leading to Exts.P1 and P2. The learned counsel for the first respondent submits with specific reference to the contents of para 3 of the statement as above, that the actual number of the vehicle owned by the petitioner was 'KL 12/B 4035', which unfortunately was wrongly shown as 'KL 12/B 403', omitting the last digit in Ext.P1.
