P1 series are the assessment orders in this writ petition against which the petitioner had preferred appeals and the first appellate authority rejected the same by Exts. P2 and P2(a). Further appeals Exts. P3 and P3(a) have been filed by the petitioner before the 2nd respondent. It is stated by the petitioner that pursuant to Ext. P4 notice of hearing, the aforesaid appeals were heard by the 2nd respondent on 11.1.2008. 2. Remaining appeals are Ext. P5 series which are pending before the 1st respondent. In so far as these appeals are concerned, petitioner submits that pursuant to Ext. P6 notice of hearing they were also heard on 10.1.2008. While orders are awaited in the appeals which have already been heard as stated above, revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated under Ext. P7 and hence this writ petition has been filed. 3. As stated by the learned counsel for the petitioner since the W.P.(C) No. 5153 OF 2008 -2- appeals have already been heard by respondents 1 and 2, I think further proceedings pursuant to Ext. P7 revenue recovery notice should await the orders in the appeals. 4. Accordingly, I direct that respondents 1 and 2 who have already heard Ext. P3 series of appeals and Ext. P5 series of appeals respectively, shall pass final orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. In the meantime further proceedings pursuant to Ext. P7 shall be deferred. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
