Department that it would suffice if this court were to hold that the appeals pending before the Commissioner of Appeals be entertained and disposed of on the petitioners’ depositing 10% of the disputed tax pending disposal of appeals by Commissioner of Appeals. As we have already directed the petitioners to pay 10% of the disputed tax by way of interim orders of this Court dated 31.12.2009 (quantified amount), and the petitioners have already deposited the said 10% of the disputed tax, these writ petitions are disposed of directing the Commissioner of Appeals to dispose of the appeals pending before him expeditiously. No order as to costs. ______________ GODA RAGHURAM,J __________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J 29th JANUARY 2010. TSNR
