1. SABIHUDDIN AHMED, J.---The petitioners have called in question the assessment of property tax in respect of the building owned by them in North Nazimabad, Karachi. It is not disputed that a notice in Form P.T.-13, under rule 9 of the Sindh Urban Immovable Property Tax Rules was served upon them proposing to assess the tax at Rs,158,652 with effect from 1-1-1995. The petitioner did not file any objection and accordingly the assessment was finalised by order of the respondent No,2 dated 7-7-1996. The petitioner did not even avail of the statutory remedy of appeal, though, they filed an application for revision about six months after the order of assessment which was dismissed on 5- 8-1997.
2. ' Mr. Masood Shaheryar, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the properties in the same area are assessed at a much lower value. Moreover, he contends that he had asked for copies of assessm ent order in respect of the such properties so as to effectively present his case before the concerned authorities but no information of the copies was made available despite repeated requests. From the record however, we find that such a request in writing was made only on 8-9- 1997 i,e, long after the assessm ent order and the order in revision was passed. In the circumstances while we cannot assume the jurisdiction of the assessing authorities no question of law meriting interference with Constitutional jurisdiction is made out. The petition is accordingly dismissed in limine alongwith Miscellaneous No,674 of 1999.
