Considering the fact that the petitioner has approached the second respondent challenging Exts.P2 and P5 orders in respect of the assessment year 2006-07 by filing Exts.P3 and P6 appeals along with Exts. P4 and P7 petitions for stay, the second respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate W.P.(C) No. 2665 OF 2010 2 orders thereon in accordance with law. However, it is made clear that till such appropriate orders are passed on Exts.P4 and P7 petitions for stay, all further proceedings pursuant to Exts. P10 and P11 shall be kept in abeyance.
