Under such circumstances, WPC19672/08 -:2:- Exts.P3 and P4 representations cannot be ignored by respondents 2 and 1 respectively. Accordingly, it is directed that the first respondent shall take up Ext.P4, hear the petitioner and the second respondent and take necessary decision in accordance with law at the earliest. Until such decision is taken, it is further directed that there shall be no further distress action against the petitioner. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
