J U D G M E N T Petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P3 in the matter of building tax. All the averments taken in the writ petition have been dealt with in the counter affidavit. There is no reply. Since Ext.P3 is an appealable order, and in view of the dispute on the facts, it is not necessary for this Court at this stage to go into the disputed facts. The writ petition is hence disposed of as follows :- In case the petitioner files an appeal within six weeks from today, the same shall be treated to have been instituted in time. Thereafter, the appeal will be disposed of expeditiously. It will be open to the petitioner to approach the appellate authority for appropriate interim orders. In order to enable the petitioner to work out the relief as above, the interim order dated 9.1.2004 will continue for another three months.
