GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.C.K.GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.K.ABDUL REHIM, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C).No.32846 OF 2009 ------------------------------ Dated this the 17th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T ---------------------- 1. Since statutory appeal and stay petition filed as per Ext.P2 and P3, against Ext.P1 order of assessment are pending consideration and disposal before the 2nd respondent, I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of directing an early disposal of the matter by that authority. 2. Therefore the 2nd respondent is directed to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 stay petition filed along with appeal, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, as early as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 3. The respondents are directed to keep in abeyance all further steps for realisation of amounts covered under Ext.P1, which is initiated through Ext.P5 notice, until orders are passed by the 2nd respondent as directed above. 4. The 2nd respondent shall also take effective steps for an early disposal of the appeal itself, thereafter. C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE. okb
