Leamed State Couusel ar^ues that a perusal of Aiuiexure R-l ffled alongwittt fhe retum would show fhat fhe petitioner has already filed an appeal before fhe appeUate authorily aud the appeal has not been disposed of so far. H]S subinissiou is that without waithig for the decision of fhe appeal aad without inentioniug this fact in the petition, the petitioner has ffled this petition which inay be disposed of in light of tbe pendency of the statutory appeal. I have considered the point raised by leamed couasel for fbe pardes. It has beeu stated on affidavit fhat fhe petitioner has already preferred fhe statutory appeal before fhe CoUector aud a copy offhe appeal has been filed as Aiinexure R-l. The stateiaent is inade by the State Coiuisel that appeal has not been decided so far. In view of the fact that fhe appeal has ah-eady been ffled by the petitioner aad the same is pendiug before the Statutoiy Aufhority, I am aot uicltned to pass any direction/order ia fhis petition during fhe pendency of the stataitoiy appeal. This petition is disposed of at this stage with a direction to the conceraed respondent to dispose of ftie appeal filed by fhe petitioner withiu a period of 90 days 6x>va. the date of receipt/production ofcertified copy ofthis order.
