THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 15829 OF 2008 H -------------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd June, 2008 JUDGMENT The complaint voiced in this Writ Petition is that though the petitioner has preferred Appeal against Ext.P1 assessment order and the stay petition came to be heard by the third respondent, orders are not being passed because the third respondent is not authorised. Petitioner, therefore, challenges Ext.P1 assessment order against which the Appeal and stay petition were filed. When the matter came up today, learned Government Pleader submits that the third respondent has already heard the matters and orders will be issued. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to pass orders on the stay petition filed along with Ext.P2 Appeal, in accordance with law, as early as possible and, at any rate, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. Till such time, recovery proceedings against the petitioner will be kept in abeyance. WPC. 15829/08 H 2 Petitioner will produce a copy of this Judgment before the third respondent as soon as it is made available to it. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
