PETITIONER AND .....RESPONDENT(S) Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.S.DWARAKANATH Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR COMMERCIAL TAX The Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO. 16716 OF 2009 Oral Order: (Per: RR,J) Heard Sri S. Dwarakanath, learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Special Standing Counsel for respondents 1 to 3 and, at their request, the writ petition itself is being disposed of at the stage of admission. The relief sought for in this writ petition is to set aside the garnishee notices dated 07.08.2009 issued by the 1st respondent, to respondents 4, 5 and 6, for recovery of the balance tax of Rs.93,02,652-00 for the period April, 2005 to March, 2006. The 2nd respondent rejected the petitioner’s request, for grant of stay, by his order dated 13-07-2009, which the petitioner claims to have received on 22-07-2009. Sri S. Dwarakanath, learned Counsel would submit that though they had thirty days time to avail the remedy of a revision to the 3rd respondent, the petitioner has preferred a revision today. Since the revision petition is now pending before the 3rd respondent, we see no reason to adjudicate upon the contentions raised, on behalf of the petitioner, on the merits of the impugned order. Ends of justice would be met if the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent Nos. 1 to 3 not to take any coercive steps for recovery of the balance tax of Rs.93,02,652-00, till the revision petition filed by the petitioner is heard and disposed of by the 3rd respondent subject to the condition that the petitioner retains the said amount of Rs.93,02,652-00 in any one of the respondent Nos. 4 to 6-banks till receipt of the order of the 3rd respondent. There shall be an order accordingly. The writ petition stands disposed of. However, in the circumstances without costs. ______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J ____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Dated: 12-08-2009 Pvks Nb:- Operative portion of the order by wire tomorrow at party’s cost.
