THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 27823 OF 2008 K -------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th September, 2008 JUDGMENT Ext.P6 is the order passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal refusing to grant stay. Case of the petitioner is substantially that the matter should be taken to be governed by Ext.P1, a portion of which, of course, the petitioner has challenged. According to petitioner, the receipt should be taken as the capital receipt and the relevant assessment does not fall within the block assessment. I notice from Ext.P6 that no reasons as such are forthcoming. In such circumstances, I feel that Ext.P6 cannot be sustained. 2. I heard the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and the learned standing counsel appearing for the Department. Accordingly, Ext.P6 is quashed and it is ordered that the recovery proceedings will stand stayed till the disposal of Ext.P3 Appeal on condition that the petitioner deposits a sum WPC.27823/08 K 2 of Rs.1,00,000/= (Rupees One Lakh) within a period of two weeks from today. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. // True Copy // PS to Judge
