On 19-1-1996, a final opportunity was given to the Revenue to explain this fact by way of an affidavit. It has not been done so far. The learned counsel for the Revenue is not in a position to state that the appeals have been preferred at least by now. In the circumstances, we are not inclined to interfere in the matter. The special leave petitions are dismissed accordingly. No opinion on merits.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. Once the special leave petitions against the decision of the High Court are dismissed, the civil appeal against the order of the Tribunal cannot proceed, since it is likely to result in inconsistent orders.
