This Court, at the time of admission, passed the following order on 27.3.2007:- “Standing counsel took notice on admission. The petitioner is aggrieved by Exts.P1 to P3 orders. The time limit for filing appeals against those orders expires only in April,07, it is submitted. But, in the month of March itself, coercive steps have been taken against the petitioner by freezing the accounts of one of its units. So, it seeks stay of the same. The coercive steps to recover the amount due under Exts.P1 to P3 will remain in abeyance up to 21.04.2007. Post next week.” 2. After hearing both sides, I feel that nothing further needs to be done except to dispose of the writ petition in terms of the said interim order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the interim order. Sd/- S. SIRI JAGAN, Mbs/ Judge -True Copy- P.A.to Judge.
