The petitioners who are stated to be in joint possession of 8.70 Ares of property comprised in Resurvey No.71/12 in Block No.47 of Aikkaranady North Village in Kunnathunadu Taluk of Ernakulam District, have approached this Court aggrieved by the refusal on the part of the 3rd respondent to accept the basic tax. The learned Government Pleader would submit on instructions that, if the petitioners produce the title deed in respect of the property, the 3rd respondent has no difficulty in accepting the basic tax in respect of the properties from the petitioners. Taking note of the said submission, I dispose the writ petition by directing that if the petitioners produce the title deeds in respect of the property, for establishing their ownership over the same before the 3rd respondent, then the 3rd respondent shall forthwith accept the basic tax in respect of the properties from the petitioners and issue the necessary receipt for the same. The petitioners shall produce the title deeds before the 3rd respondent within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, and on receipt of the title deeds, the 3rd respondent shall forthwith accept the basic tax at any rate within a week thereafter. The petitioners shall produce a copy of the writ petition together with a copy of this judgment, before the 3rd respondent, for further action.
