Petitioner has preferred Exts.P3 and P5 appeals against assessment and penalty in respect of the assessment year 2005-06. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has preferred delay petitions also. 2. I heard learned Government Pleader also. The appeals are of the year 2008. I do not think that there should be a direction to dispose of the appeals. In such circumstances, writ petition is disposed of as follows. The 4th respondent will consider the delay petitions filed in Exts.P3 and P5 appeals and if it is found that the delay can be condoned and if the petitioner files stay petitions in Exts.P3 and P5 appeals within five days from today, a decision will be taken on the stay petitions in accordance with law within WPC.25642/08 : 2 : three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till such decision is taken, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P6 will be kept in abeyance. Sd/- (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE
