THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.25882 OF 2010 Dated:06.04.2011 Between: M/s.J.P.Traders, S.B.I. Colony, Opp.Desai Tippa Reddy House, Madanapalli, Chittoor District, Represented by its Proprietor Mr.J.Praveen Kumar .. Petitioner And The Commercial Tax Officer, Madanapalli and another .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.25882 OF 2010 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ramesh Ranganathan) This writ petition is filed assailing the order of the second respondent rejecting the stay application filed by the petitioner, vide proceedings dated 03.11.2009, for the assessment year 2000-2001 under the Andhra Pradesh Value Added Tax Act, 2005. This Court, by order dated 13.10.2010, granted interim stay on condition of the petitioner paying 50% of the disputed tax within a period of four week. Sri Shaik Jeelani Basha, learned counsel for the petitioner, would submit that the petitioner has been unable to comply with the interim order passed by this Court. We see no reason therefore to continue the interim stay passed earlier. As a substantive appeal is pending adjudication before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal we do not consider it appropriate to examine the petitioner’s contention on merits. Viewed from any angle the Writ Petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. ______________ (V.V.S.
