(C) No. 20301 of 2009 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated, this the 20th day of July, 2009 JUDGMENT Challenging Exts.

Pursuant to this, the petitioner had preferred second appeal as borne by Exts.P4 and P5 along with Exts. P6 and P7 petitions for stay. The grievance of the petitioner is that, it is without any regard to the pendency of the above proceedings, that the respondents are proceeding with the coercive steps against the petitioner for realization of the amount allegedly due from him, as evident from Exts.P8 and P9 demand notices issued in this regard, which hence is sought to be intercepted in the present Writ Petition. 2. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well. 3. Considering the facts and circumstances, the third respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders on Exts.P4 and P5 memorandum of appeals and Exts.P6 and P7 petition for stay in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. It is made clear that, till such orders are passed on Exts.P6 and P7 petitions for stay, all further coercive proceedings, stated as being pursued against the WP (C) No. 20301 of 2009 : 2 : petitioner, shall be kept in abeyance. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. P. R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE kmd
