               =====================

            Dated this the 23rd day of October, 2007

                         J U D G M E N T

Ext.P1 is an order of assessment, against which, Ext.P2

appeal and Ext.P3 stay petition have been filed by the petitioner.

This writ petition has been filed apprehending that pending

consideration of appeal and stay petition, revenue recovery

proceedings initiated as per Ext.P5 will be continued.

2. Having regard to the fact that Ext.P1 is an ex parte

order of assessment and that 1/3rd of the disputed tax has

already been paid, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the

2nd respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 appeal

filed by the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate

within a period of six weeks of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

In the meantime, further proceedings for realisation of the

dues under Ext.P5 notice shall be deferred for eight weeks.

Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the

2nd respondent for compliance.

ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE.
