RAMACHANDRA MENON, J. ............................................................................... W.P.(C) No. 5079 OF 2010 ......................................................................... Dated this the 17th February, 2010 J U D G M E N T Challenging Ext.P1 assessment order for the months of April, 2006 to March 2007, the petitioner has preferred Exts. P2 to P13 appeals along with Exts.P14 to P25 petitions for stay, which are pending consideration before the second respondent. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that it is without any regard to the pendency of the said proceedings that Ext. P26 notice has been issued under the Revenue Recovery Act, which in turn is sought to be intercepted in this Writ Petition. 3. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well. 4. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that similar matters have already been considered by this Court and appropriate orders have been passed to consider and finalise the appeals, on condition that the petitioners therein deposit 1/3rd of the amount due. 5. In the facts and circumstances, the second respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders on Exts.P2 to W.P.(C) No. 5079 OF 2010 2 P13 appeals in accordance with law, of course after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is made clear that till such orders are passed on the appeals, all further proceedings pursuant to Ext. P26 shall be kept in abeyance, provided the petitioner deposits 1/3rd of the due amount within ten days. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. lk
