Against Ext.P2 order of assessment, petitioner has filed Ext.P4 appeal. Ext.P5 is stated to be an application filed by the petitioner for an early hearing, although the same is not in the proper form. In the meanwhile, revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated as per Ext.P7. It is in that context, the present writ petition has been filed. 2. In view of the pendency of the appeal as averred by the petitioner, I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition directing the disposal of the appeal itself, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 3. In the meantime further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P7 shall be kept in abeyance on the petitioner remitting an amount of Rs.50,000/- within three weeks from the date of WPC 30804/07 : 2 : receipt of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
