¶13

The petitioner would state that she has been residing along with her family members at No.54/47, Arunagiripuram, 3^rd Street, Thirukovilur Road, Tiruvannamalai Taluk and District, for more than 27 years. The petitioner is also paying the land tax, under ground sewerage tax and other taxes as per the Government norms. The electricity service connection, water connection and under ground sewerage connections have also been provided to the house of the petitioner.

¶14

The petitioner would further state that the 2^nd respondent issued a notice dated 07.01.2018 directing her to pay sewerage tax of Rs.1350/-. Though the petitioner went to the office of the 2^nd respondent on 06.02.2018 and paid a total sum of Rs.5,000/- for Sewerage connection tax, house tax and water tax, the 2^nd respondent issued only sewerage tax receipt and denied to issue the other tax receipts to the petitioner. Hence, the petitioner sent a representation to the 2^nd respondent on 02.03.2018. Since no action has been taken by the 2^nd respondent, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition before this Court.
