THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 9439 OF 2008 W = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 19th March, 2008 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext. P7, by which a conditional order of stay has been granted by the appellate authority requiring the petitioner to remit 50% of the tax and furnish security for the balance. On going through Ext. P7 and also having taken note of the contentions urged, I am not satisfied that the order is vitiated and warranting interference in a writ jurisdiction. At this stage counsel for the petitioner seeks an instalment facility to pay off the amount. Taking into account the submissions made as above, I direct that out of the total amount payable in terms of Ext. P7, the petitioner shall pay an amount of Rs.1 lakh before 31.3.2008 and the balance before 15.4.2008. Writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
