For the assessment year 1995- 1996, the petitioner was assessed and his liability to pay tax was determined at Rs. 2,43,760/-, which amount the petitioner claims to have paid in toto.

Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner carried the matter in appeal to the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal, Hyderabad. Pending the appeal, the petitioner sought stay of recovery of the above mentioned amount of tax, as found due by the revisional authority. The said application was rejected by the 1st respondent by his proceedings, dated 16.02.2006. Hence the present writ petition. Heard the learned Government Pleader for Commercial Taxes. In the circumstances, we are of the opinion that the writ petition can be disposed of at the stage of admission, directing the respondents not to recover the tax, pursuant to the revisional order referred to above, on condition of the petitioner deposits 50% of the disputed tax within a period of six weeks from today. The amounts paid already, if any, shall be given credit while computing the above said amount. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of at the stage of admission. ________________ J.
