While entertaining this writ petition, this Court on 5th February, 2009 granted interim relief as prayed for. Now, we have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Commercial Tax. The learned Government Pleader for Commercial Tax would submit that since the appeal is still pending before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal, it would be appropriate if this writ petition is disposed of directing the Tribunal to decide the appeal as expeditiously as possible. Since the writ petitioner is a Government of India undertaking, we consider it appropriate to maintain the interim order passed on 5th February, 2009 till the appeal is decided by the Tribunal. Further, the Tribunal is directed to decide the appeal, within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after providing an opportunity to the petitioner herein. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ________________________ Justice T.
