The petitioner seeks disposal of Ext.P7 and stay of recovery of the disputed tax, pending disposal of the revision. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. When the petitioner has moved a stay petition in the revision as early as on 30.5.2007, it is only proper that the 1st respondent considers the same and passes appropriate orders. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider the stay w.p.c.20916/07 2 petition, accompanying Ext.P7 revision petition, and pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously. Till orders are passed on the stay petition, there would be a stay of recovery of the disputed tax. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge.
