That was confirmed in appeal, against which a revision was filed. That was pending consideration before the Transport Commissioner. The petitioner has also filed Ext.P5 application for stay. It is the contention of the petitioner that during the pendency of the appeal, in view of the stay granted by this Court in Ext.P2 and the conditions having been complied with, she could operate the vehicle. Now that an order has been passed dismissing the appeal and in the absence of any order of stay passed by the -2- W.P.(C).NO.2230/2007 revisional authority, she will not be in a position to run the bus and earn her livelihood. It is also submitted that the petitioner is a widow and earning the livelihood by running the bus. 2. Heard the learned Government Pleader. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, in case the petitioner pays an amount of Rs.65,000/- (Rupees sixty five thousand) within ten days, there will be a direction to the revisional authority to consider and dispose of the revision expeditiously. I make it clear that an amount of Rs.65,000/- is towards the arrears of tax pending consideration of the revision and hence, the petitioner shall continue to pay the current tax as well and be accepted. Coercive steps if -3- W.P.(C).NO.2230/2007 any be deferred till the disposal of the revision. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. P.R.RAMAN, Judge. kcv.
