Therefore, we set aside the order of the authority and direct that half of the disputed tax liability shall be paid by the petitioner, on or before 31st March, 2006. Till 31st March, 2006, there shall be an unconditional stay and the stay shall continue till disposal of the appeal, provided the amount is deposited within the time stipulated. The deposit of amount shall be without prejudice to the rights of the petitioner in the appeal. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. -------------------------- (Bilal Nazki, J) 10h March, 2006 -------------------------- (S.Ananda Reddy, J) Note: Wire at party’s costs. B/o LUR
