Dated this the 22nd June, 2009 J U D G M E N T Being aggrieved of Ext.P4 assessment order passed by the concerned assessing authority, the petitioner has already approached the third respondent by filing Ext.P5 memorandum of appeal along with Ext.P6 petition for stay. The grievance of the petitioner is that it is without any regard to the pendency of the above proceedings that the respondents are proceeding with hasty steps under the Kerala Revenue Recovery Act for realisation of the amount allegedly due from the petitioner, which in turn is sought to be intercepted by filing the present Writ Petition. 2. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well. 3. Considering the facts and circumstances, the third respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P5 appeal as well as on Ext.P6 petition for stay as W.P.(C) No.17228 OF 2009 2 expeditiously as possible. It is made clear that till such appropriate orders are passed on Ext. P6, all further coercive steps stated as being pursued against the petitioner on the basis of Ext.P8 notice shall be kept in abeyance. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. lk
