Judge questions maintainability of such a plea before the court
The Madras High Court on Monday questioned the maintainability of a writ petition filed by Federation of Madras Merchants and Manufacturers Association seeking waiver of property tax, professional tax, metro water and sewerage charges and trade licence fees for the financial years 2020-21 and 2021-22. When Justice Anita Sumanth wanted to know whether the writ petition was maintainable at all, Government counsel N.R.R. Arun Natarajan replied in the negative. Hence, the judge directed him to ensure that the government filed a counter affidavit to the petition by July 22 on the question of maintainability too.More Related News
