With their consent, the writ petition is disposed of at this stage. Appeal is pending before the 2nd respondent and stay petition is pending before the 3rd respondent.

In this view of the matter, we direct that no coercive steps be taken against the petitioner if he deposits half of the disputed tax liability within a period of eight weeks from today. For eight weeks, there shall be an unconditional stay and stay shall continue till disposal of appeal, provided the amount is deposited within the stipulated time. The deposit of amount shall be without prejudice to the rights of the petitioner in appeal. If any amount has already been paid by the petitioner, the same shall be given credit. ______________ BILAL NAZKI, J 24th July 2007 ____________________ S.
