appearing for the respondents would fairly agree that the issue in this writ petition in relation to the acceptance of remittances of Motor Vehicle Tax in advance for 7/30/90 days in accordance with the Ninth Schedule of the Tamil Nadu Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1974 is squarely covered by earlier orders of this Court in W.P.Nos.10006 to 10008 of 2022 dated 22.04.2022, W.P.No.5030 of 2022 dated 04.03.2022 and several others.

¶20

Thus, bearing in mind the ratio of the aforesaid order, wherein directions have been issued to the respondents along the lines as sought for by the petitioner before me, mandamus is issued to the respondents to collect tax from the petitioner in advance for 7/30/90 days for use in Tamil Nadu in accordance with the Ninth Schedule of the Act in respect of his vehicle bearing Registration No. KA 01 AN 3777.
