J U D G M E N T
Challenging Ext.P1 assessment order and Ext. P2 order
imposing penalty, passed by the first respondent, the petitioner
has preferred Exts. P3 and P4 appeals along with Ext.P5 petition
to condone the delay in filing the appeal in respect of penalty
and also Exts.P6 and P7 petitions for stay. The case of the
petitioner is that it is without any regard to the pendency of the
said proceedings, that coercive steps are being pursued against
the petitioner, as borne by Exts. P8 and P9, which, hence, are
under challenge in this Writ Petition.
2. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well.
3. Considering the facts and circumstances, the second
respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders on
Ext. P5 petition to condone the delay in filing the concerned
appeal and also Ext. P6 and P7 petitions for stay in accordance
W.P.(C) No. 6762 OF 2010

with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one
month from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. It is
made clear that till such orders are passed on Ext. P5 petition to
condone the delay in filing the appeal and also on Exts. P6 and
P7 petitions for stay, all further proceedings pursuant to Exts. P8
and P9 shall be kept in abeyance.
The Writ Petition is disposed of.
P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON,
JUDGE.
