SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ WP(C) NO. 19738 OF 2007 - Y ------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of June, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges the revenue recovery notices for recovery of Motor Transport Workers Welfare Fund contributions. Exts.P7 and P8 are the final determination orders pursuant to which the revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated. The petitioner has filed Exts.P9 and P10 appeals against those orders. In the same, I find that the petitioner has also sought for stay of recovery of the disputed amounts. That being so, I feel that it is only proper that the second respondent considers the prayer for stay of recovery proceedings, expeditiously. 2. Accordingly, I direct the second respondent to consider and pass orders on the prayer for stay made by the petitioner in Exts.P9 and P10 appeals and pass appropriate orders thereon, expeditiously. Till such time the stay petitions are disposed of, there would be a stay of further proceedings pursuant to Exts.P11 to P14. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- S.
