Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:19580-DB Chief Justice's Court Case :- WRIT TAX No. - 305 of 2025 Petitioner :- Surajbhan Chauhan Respondent :- State of U.P. and another Counsel for Petitioner :- Muktesh Kumar Singh Counsel for Respondent :- Nimai Dass, A.C.S.C. Hon'ble Arun Bhansali,Chief Justice Hon'ble Kshitij Shailendra,J. 1. This petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking a direction to respondent no. 2 not to recover arrears of road tax from him in respect of Truck No. DL-1LE-2430. 2. Submission has been made that the vehicle owned by the petitioner was sold as scrap and the petitioner moved application before the respondents for cancellation of the registration on 15.07.2019. It is claimed that though no order order has been passed, however, the Revenue Officer/Amin has informed the petitioner about recovery of road tax in respect of his truck. 3. From a perusal of the record, it is apparent that presently no demand has been raised against the petitioner as the averments contained in the petition only refer to the revenue officer informing the petitioner about recovery. The petition apparently has been filed on apprehension without there being any actual demand against the petitioner. 4. In that view of the matter, we do not find any good reason to entertain the present petition at this stage. The same is, therefore, dismissed, leaving it open for the petitioner to take appropriate proceedings in case any demand, in fact, is raised against him.
