                       W.P(C) No. 2553 of 2010-T
                 ------------------------------
              Dated this the 27th day of January, 2010.

                         J U D G M E N T

The case of the petitioner is that even though the petitioner

has filed statutory appeal before the Tribunal challenging Ext.P2

order passed by the first appellate authority and even though the

appeal has been numbered as 1/2010, the respondents are

proceeding with coercive steps for realization of the amount

allegedly due from the petitioner as borne by Exts.P3 and P4, which

are under challenge in this Writ Petition.

2. Heard the learned Government Pleader, who submits

that, it is not discernible from the proceedings as to whether the

petitioner has filed any petition for stay before the Tribunal.

Similarly, copies of the appeal proceedings are also not produced

before this Court. The learned counsel for the petitioner asserts

that the appeal has been filed along with a petition for stay and that

the petitioner might be permitted to move the stay petition before

the Tribunal, for which some breathing time is sought for.

W.P(C) No. 2553 of 2010-T 2

Considering the facts and circumstances, particularly that the

sale of the movables has been notified to be held on 29th of this

month as borne by Ext.P4, this Court finds that the matter could be

finalized by permitting the petitioner to move the statutory

authority/Tribunal for getting appropriate interim orders during the

pendency of the appeal. Accordingly this Writ Petition disposed of,

making clear that all further proceedings pursuant to Exts.P3 and P4

shall be kept in abeyance for a period of one month.
