JUDGMENT 1. An application, for setting aside the ex parte order of assessment of the Stamp Duty by the Collector (Stamp), was dismissed. 2. One other application, earlier moved on the same facts, was also dismissed. Learned single Judge, by the impugned order dated 12.08.2014, observed that the petitioner did not inform the Court as to what happened to the second application, and that an appeal can be filed against the order of Collector (Stamp) before the Tax Board under Section 65 of the Rajasthan Stamps Act, 1998. 3. It is submitted that in this appeal, under the order passed by this Court, the entire amount has been deposited, and thus, the Court may set aside the order of the Collector (Stamp), and direct him to decide the assessment and the quantum of the Stamp Duty. 4. The Collector has already decided the matter by rejecting the application for setting aside the ex parte decree on 09.10.2012. A remedy is now available to the petitioner to file an appeal before the Tax Board. 5. The deposit of the entire amount cannot be a ground to avoid the statutory alternative remedy to file an appeal. 6. It is submitted that a title suit is pending, in which the validity of the sale deed is in question, and until the validity of the sale deed is decided, the matter of the assessment of Stamp Duty may be kept in abeyance. 7. We do not find any justification in the prayer, inasmuch as, in the title suit for cancellation of sale deed, and that appellants defence is that the sale deed is valid. So long, he is contesting the matter on the ground that the sale deed is valid, the Stamp Duty has to be paid. If there is any assessment of quantum, the same has to be first considered and decided in appeal. 8. In view of the above, the Special Appeal is dismissed, upholding the order of learned single Judge on the ground of alternative remedy. In case the appeal is filed within a month, the same may be decided on merits.Appeal dismissed. *******
