Sales tax in tamilnadu

This query is : Resolved
I had rented my house in Bangalore, to a business person, doing business in Hosur- Tamilnadu. The house was let out for residential purpose.
The tenant stayed from 1997 to 2004 and vacated the house.
In his filing with tax authorities, above tenant has filed with my house as corporate office. As per Tamilnadu sales tax, he has defaulted on payment of sales tax to Tamil nadu government during 2002 to the tune of Rs 10 Lakhs.
Assistant commissioner of Hosur zone along with a present director of above company have issued notice to me in April 2011 (received by me in August 2011), intimating that I am liable to pay the above sales tax.
It is not clear to me how Government can issue a notice to me. I would be greatful if any of the experts can advice me how to deal with above.
Thanks in advance.

File FIR against the Tenant and the director of the company for cheating you,and using your residential property as commercial use.a
Reply to the STO/AC of sales tax with detail and proofs you are having of the tenant and if the AC don't understand the facts.
Try to settle with him put him in the trap.
Its the CHANAKYA NITI,WHEN YOU ARE NOT THE OFFENDER AND KARMACHARI PUZZLE YOU YOU HAVE TO GET HIM PUZZLE BY HIS BHEDA.

The sales tax authorities would have addressed the tenant and his company.
You are not liable to pay the tax. If by any chance, you received the notice in your name, reply with the facts.
