IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No.19461 of 2008 Date of decision: 17.11.2008 M/s Vinod Brothers, Gurgaon. -----Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana and others. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.N. MITTAL Present:- Mr. Girish Agnihotri, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Vijay Pal, Advocate for the petitioner. ----- ORDER: Notice of motion to respondent No.3. Ms. Ritu Bahri, DAG, Haryana, present in Court, accepts notice. We have heard learned counsel for the parties. Only point raised in this petition is that appeal of the petitioner was dismissed by the respondent No.3, who is the appellate authority, as the petitioner failed to deposit the tax due as per the interim order of the appellate authority. However, the petitioner has now deposited the same and it will be in the interest of justice if the appeal is decided on merits. We do not find any reason to reject the prayer. C.W.P. No.19461 of 2008 Without going into the merits of the case, we direct respondent No.3 to verify the fact whether deposit has been made and if the petitioner has already made the deposit, as claimed, the appeal of the petitioner may be decided on merits. The petition is disposed of. ( ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ) JUDGE November 17, 2008 ( L. N. MITTAL ) ashwani JUDGE 2
