This writ petition is filed questioning the order dated 27.12.2005 passed by the second respondent, and further, to interdict the respondents herein from enforcing the demand pursuant to the order of the first respondent dated 10.10.2005 and the consequential notice issued in Form No.1 by the Deputy Commercial Tax Officer, Keesara Circle until disposal of Case No.272 of 2004 filed by the petitioner before the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR), under the provisions of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985. The demand pertains to the assessment year 2004-05 and the petitioner has fallen in arrears of Rs.1,18,460/-. This Court while ordering notice before admission, granted interim stay as long back as on 30.12.2005. Till today, no steps have been taken by the respondents for vacating the interim stay. Further, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the appeal filed before the BIFR, is still pending. Having regard to the fact that the appeal is still pending before the BIFR, there is no necessity to go into the merits of the writ petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. However, it is made clear that the interim stay granted earlier shall remain in force till the disposal of the appeal. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ (B.
