Abstract. A Taub-like plane-symmetric solutions are obtained in bimetric theory of relativity when the sources of matter are domain walls, cosmic strings and Maxwell's field, respectively. Here we have shown that plane-symmetric Taub-like metric does not accommodate cosmic strings and domain walls in Rosen's bimetric theory of relativity. As we know that at the early stage of evolution of the universe domain walls as well as cosmic strings do appear which lead to formation of galaxies. Thus, it may be said that the bimetric relativity does not help to describe the early era of the universe. And further we cannot obtain the exact solutions with plane-symmetry.
