Met with the circumstance, the petitioner filed Ext.P4 revision petition along with Ext.P5 petition for stay which are pending consideration before the 1st respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that without any regard to pendency of the above proceedings, coercive steps are being passed against the petitioner for realisation of the amount stated as due, which in turn is challenged in this Writ petition. 2. Heard the Government Pleader as well. 3. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the 1st respondent is directed to consider Ext.P4 in accordance with law and pass final orders after giving an opportunity, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of this Writ petition before the 1st respondent for further steps. It is made clear that till final orders are passed in the revision petition as W.P.(C).NO.13341 OF 2010 2 above; all further coercive steps, in respect of the cause of action projected in this Writ petition shall be kept in abeyance. The Writ petition is disposed of. P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON,JUDGE. pm
