With their consent, the writ petition is disposed of at this stage. Petitioner’s grievance is that an application for grant of stay was rejected, and against the order of rejection, he has filed a revision, which is pending. Pending revision, notice under Section 17 of the A.P. General Sales Tax Act has been served on him. After hearing both sides, we feel that the interest of justice would be met if the notice under Section 17 of the Act is stayed, till the revision is disposed of by the 1st respondent. In these circumstances, the 1st respondent is directed to dispose of the revision as expeditiously as possible. Till he decides the matter, notice under Section 17 of the Act shall not be given effect to. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. _____________ (BILAL NAZKI,J) Dated:02.11.2004 _________________ (S.ANANDA REDDY,J) ts To 1 The Additional Commissioner of Taxes, Office of the Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Hyderabad. 2 The Appellate Dy.
