RAMAN, J. ============= W.P.(C) NO. 582 OF 2007 =================== DATED THIS, THE 5TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2007 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is aggrieved by Exts. P8 and P9 interim orders passed by the appellate authority, the second respondent herein, imposing conditions for granting stay, requiring him to deposit 50% of the tax due and disputed, as a condition for granting stay. According to the petitioner, the assessments made by the assessing officer is unreal and he has made out a strong ground for interference in appeal. 2. The question as to whether additions made is excessive or not, is pending consideration. The appellate authority has only directed the petitioner to pay 50% of the disputed tax. It is submitted that for both the years in question, the amount of tax will come only to Rs. 10,52,000/-. If so I do not find any justification to interfere with the order passed. Dismissed. P.R.
