THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 25678 OF 2007 Dated 22nd June, 2010 Between: P.Paradesi Naidu …Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh rep. By its Deputy Secretary to Government, Industries and Commerce And two others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri D.Seshasayana Reddy Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Industries and Commerce The Court made the following ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner felt aggrieved by non-passing of order on the appeal/revision application filed by him by respondent No.1. The petitioner received a demand notice from respondent No.3 for payment of Rs.5,94,000/- towards seigniorage fee along with ten times penalty. Questioning the said demand, the petitioner filed an appeal/revision application before respondent No.1. The grievance of the petitioner is that as respondent No.1 has not disposed of the said appeal/revision application, respondent No.3 was taking coercive steps for recovery of the amount demanded under the notice issued by him. This Court, by order dated 03.12.2007, granted stay of collection of penalty subject to payment of seigniorage fee. The learned counsel submitted that the said order was complied with and the appeal/revision application is still pending before respondent No.1. In the above circumstances of the case, as the petitioner’s appeal/revision application filed questioning the demand of seigniorage fee along with penalty is pending before respondent No.1, it is appropriate that respondent No.1 disposes of the appeal/revision application on merits. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, without going into the merits of the same, with the direction to respondent No.1 to dispose of the appeal/revision application filed by the petitioner, in accordance with law, if not already done, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till disposal of the appeal/revision application, the respondents shall not enforce the demand towards collection of penalty on the petitioner. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WVMP No.665 of 2008 is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 22nd June, 2010 vrn
