Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Mar-25-1992

Reported in: 1992(1)ALT618

ORDERB. Subhashan Reddy, J.1. This is yet another case wherein due to the lethargy and avoidable irregularities, the exchequer of the local authority has suffered a lot. Revision of house tax in Venkatagiri Gram Panchayat of Nellore District, was to be made during the year 1982. But, because of the indifferent attitude, be it that of the persons manning the local authority or the governmental authorities, revision could not be effected on time. By this time, had the proper procedure been followed, revision of house tax could have been made not only in the year 1982, but also in the year 1987 and then in the ensuing year of 1992. Due to the illegal action of the respondents, there is colossal loss to the exchequer of the local authority resulting in strain even on public funds.2. Though revision of tax was proposed to be done in the year 1982 and objections called for and even though objections were made, instead of the said objections being considered by the same Revision Officer, once...
