Justice T. Meena Kumari) This writ petition has been directed against an order passed by the 3rd respondent herein rejecting the stay petition on 30h January 2009. While entertaining this writ petition, on 12.2.2009, this Court granted interim relief on condition that 1/3rd of the amount sought to be recovered shall be deposited by the petitioner, within four weeks from that day. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Commercial Tax. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the conditions imposed by this Court while granting interim relief have been complied with. The learned Government Pleader for Commercial Tax would submit that since the appeal is still pending before the 2nd respondent- appellate authority, it would be appropriate if this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to decide the appeal as expeditiously as possible. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the above submissions, we consider it appropriate to maintain the interim order passed by this Court on 12.2.2009 till the appeal is decided by the 2nd respondent-appellate authority. Further, the appellate-authority is directed to decide the appeal, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after providing an opportunity to the petitioner herein. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ________________________ Justice T.
