             W.P.(C) NOs. 2229 & 2273 OF 2008
             ========================

           Dated this the 18th day of January, 2008

                         J U D G M E N T

Challenge in these writ petitions is against Ext.P2

conditional orders, by which stay has been granted and the

petitioners were required to remit 1/3rd of the tax and 50% tax.

A reading of these orders show that the appellate authority has

considered the prima facie nature of the case that was made out

by the petitioners and it is on that basis conditional order of stay

has been granted. Petitioners contend that they are entitled to

total exemption and that documents also have been made

available to the appellate authority and therefore they are

entitled to get complete stay.

2. As presently, I am not called upon to examine the

merits of the appeal and it is for the appellate authority to

consider the contentions on either side and pass final orders. On

WPC 2229 & 2273/08
:2 :

going through Ext.P2 order in these cases, I am satisfied that the

appellate authority has exercised his discretion and there is

absolutely no perversity warranting interference by this court.

Writ petitions fail and are dismissed.

ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE.
