JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NOS. 8829/09W, 8847/09A & 8848/09A -------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th March, 2009 JUDGMENT In all these cases, the petitioners challenge the Orders passed by the Assessing Officer under Section 220 (6) of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. Petitioners have been called upon to remit twenty per cent. I am not inclined to interfere with the said orders. But, the learned counsel for the petitioners points out that Appeals have been filed accompanied by stay petitions. The only relief which I propose to give is to direct the Appellate Authority to take up the stay petitions filed along with the Appeals by the petitioners and to pass orders in accordance with law. Accordingly, the Writ Petitions are disposed of directing the second respondent in all these cases to consider and pass orders in accordance with law on the stay petitions WPC.8829,8847 & 8848/09 2 filed in the Appeals filed by the petitioners within a period of ten days from the date of production of a copy of this Judgment.
