3.Subsequently, when the Writ Petition was taken up for hearing on 24.09.2020, the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents submitted that the 2nd respondent had already passed an order on 08.04.2008 itself calling upon the petitioner to pay a sum of Rs.3,79,920/- as deficit stamp duty. However, this fact was not brought to the notice of this Court when this Court passed an order on 19.06.2015 calling upon the 2nd respondent to conduct the enquiry. Recording the submissions made by the then learned Additional Government Pleader, this Court fixed the date of hearing as 30.06.2015. Since the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was not served with the copy of the order dated 08.04.2008 and also that the learned Government Advocate submitted that service of the order dated 08.04.2008 could not be established by any document from the available files, in the interest of justice, this Court directed the 2nd respondent to conduct enquiry by fixing the date of hearing on 12.10.2020, giving liberty to the petitioner's authorized representative to appear for enquiry before the 2nd respondent and explain their stand as to the payment of deficit stamp duty of Rs.3,79,920/-. When the Writ Petition was taken up for hearing on 24.09.2020, the learned counsel on either side also submitted that pursuant to the enquiry conducted in the year 2015, the 2nd respondent has not passed any order so far.
