THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO And THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO.13220 OF 2010 ORDER: (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao) Heard both the sides. At their request, the Writ Petition is being taken up for disposal at the stage of admission. The main grievance of the petitioner in this Writ Petition is against the refusal of stay application R.No.127/2009-10 on 23.03.2010 pending substantive appeal No.PV/223/2009-10 before the second respondent herein-Deputy Commissioner (CT). Though several contentions sought to be urged, however, having regard to the fact that the appeal is pending, it would suffice the interest of justice to grant stay, subject to the condition that the petitioner deposits half of the demand within a period of six {6} weeks from today. The amount, if any, already paid shall be given credit to and the aforesaid appeal can be disposed of on merits, as expeditiously as possible. Subject to the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) _______________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J) 15th June 2010 RRB
