BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.C.K.GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON,J. ====================== W.P.(C). No. 2278/2010 ================ Dated this the 22nd day of January, 2010. JUDGMENT Challenging Ext.P1, P2, P4 and P5 assessment orders, the petitioners have preferred Ext.P9 appeal, along with Ext.P10 to Ext.P13 petitions for stay, which are pending consideration before the 1st respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that, it is without any regard to these proceedings, that coercive steps are being pursued under the Revenue Recovery Act, which hence is challenged in this writ petition. There is also a further case for the petitioner, in so far as Ext.P14 and P15 petitions for rectification filed by the petitioner in respect of Ext.P1 and P2 have been simply endorsed as rejected by the 2nd respondent vide Ext.P16 endorsement effected in the 'local delivery book' of the petitioner. 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that the petitions for rectification were rejected only taking note of the fact that the petitioner had already approached the appellate authority by filing statutory appeal. In the above facts and circumstances the 1st respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on Ext.P6 to P13 proceedings W.P.C. No. 2278/20102 in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible. However, it is made clear that, till such orders are passed on Ext.P10 to P13, all coercive steps pursuant to Ext.P17 to P20 shall be kept in abeyance. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
