Heard Mr.T.Ramesh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.M.Santhanaraman, learned Senior Standing Counsel for the respondents.
2. The prayer is for a writ of certiorarified mandamus calling for and quashing notice of demand through electronic mails dated 25.10.2019, 27.11.2019, 12.03.2020, 04.05.2020 and 06.05.2020.
3. Straightaway I may state that these are only e-mails issued by the respondent calling for payment of interest, one of which the petitioner has replied to. It would be appropriate for this conversation to continue and the respondents to hear the party to arrive at a proper reconciliation of the amount to be paid, if any.
4. In fact, in the counter filed in February 20201, the respondent has quantified the interest demand from 10.11.2010 to 22.02.2018 at a figure of ₹ 24,40,546/- and the petitioner may file its reply to the respondent in regard to the quantification made.
5. I do find any necessity to intervene at this juncture and it is appropriate that the matter be resolved by them, in accordance with law. This writ petition is disposed in the above terms. Connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. No costs.
