ORDER
The writ petition is filed by the wife and legal heir of the late K.Ponnambalam challenging the order issued after his demise.
2. Relying on death certificate dated 12.01.2023, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner's husband passed away on 03.01.2023. He adds that a notice was sent to the respondent on 10.03.2023 communicating that the petitioner's husband had died. In spite of such communication, he submits that the impugned order was issued later.
3. Mr. B. Sivaraman, learned Government Advocate (Tax), accepts notice for the respondent. He submits that it should be left open to the respondent to initiate proceedings against the legal representatives.
4. The death certificate records the date of death as 03.01.2023. The order impugned in this petition was issued thereafter. Hence, the order is unsustainable and is hereby set aside. This order will not, however, stand in the way of the respondent initiating legal proceedings against the legal representatives in accordance with law.
