THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.11330 of 2008 ORDER: (per HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN) The petitioner is a proprietary concern engaged in the business of purchase and sale of ready made garments. Against the order passed by the Additional Commissioner (CT) (Legal), Hyderabad, the petitioner preferred an appeal to the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal. The main appeal, along with stay application, is said to be still pending before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal. Since the application seeking stay of recovery of the disputes tax is still pending, ends of justice would be met if the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal is called upon to dispose of the stay application at the earliest, in any event, not later than four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Pending disposal of the stay application, there shall be stay of recovery of the disputed tax subject to the condition that the petitioner deposits 50% of the disputed tax with the 2nd respondent within a period of four weeks from today. Amount, if any, paid already, shall be given credit to. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Date: 28.5.2008 ___________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Usd/tsy/asp
