HC issues notice to Govt.

By Our Correspondent

Bangalore Jan. 21. The Karnataka High Court today directed the Government Advocate to take notice on behalf of the State Government and the Deputy Commissioner of Bidar in a public interest writ petition seeking a direction to the officials concerned to lay an approach road from Sangam Santhpur Road to Hippalgaon.

The direction was issued by a Division Bench comprising the Chief Justice, N.K. Jain, and Justice V.G. Sabhahit on the petition filed by Govind Rao and three others of Hippalgaon in Aurad taluk of Bidar District.

Dismissed

The same Bench today dismissed a public interest writ petition seeking a direction to quash the notification issued by the Mysore City Corporation on the self-assessment of property tax based on the market value of the property concerned.

The Federation of Taxpayers Associations, Mysore, submitted that the notification to levy property tax based on market value was illegal and liable to be quashed. The judges, after hearing petitioner's counsel, dismissed the petition observing that no public interest was involved.
