W.P.(C) 37977 of 2007
-------------------------------------
Dated: December 19, 2007
JUDGMENT
Exts.P1 and P5 are orders of assessment against which Exts.P2
and P6 appeals are filed before the 2nd respondent. Along with the
appeals petitioner has also filed Exts.P4 and P8 applications for
stay. Petitioner also refers to the early hearing application that has
been filed. Despite all these, the petitioner did not succeed in
getting any interim order. At the same time, recovery proceedings
have been initiated as per Exts.P9 and P9(a) and in these
circumstances, the writ petition is filed.
2. Now that the petitioner has resorted to the statutory
remedy that is available by filing appeals and stay petitions as
described above, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 2nd
respondent shall take up and consider Exts.P4 and P8 stay petitions
filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate,
within three weeks from the date of production of a copy of this
judgment. In the meantime further proceedings pursuant to
WP(C) 37977/2007
Page numbers
Exts.P9 and P9(a) will stand deferred for a period of four weeks.
Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 2nd
respondent for compliance.
ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE
