THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY WRIT PETITION Nos. 19209 and 19210 of 2009 Between: M/s NCL Altek and Seccolor Limited, rep. by its Assistant Manager-Accounts Mr.K.V.Seshasai …Petitioner and The Commercial Tax Officer, Nampally Circle, Hyderabad and others …Respondents Common Order: (Per GR, J) Though, inter alia, the vires of sub-section (6A) of Section 21 of the APGST Act, 1957 is challenged, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner does not wish to pursue this challenge. It is also submitted that the writ petition may be disposed of in line with the order of this Court dated 9-11-2009 in W.P.No. 19165 of 2009. By an interim order dated 14-9-2009, this Court granted interim stay of all further proceedings pending the further appeals preferred by the petitioner before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal on the ground that 50 per cent of the disputed tax had already been paid, pursuant to an earlier order of this Court in the writ petition directed against the refusal to grant stay pending appeals before the appellate authority. Since the petitioner’s substantive further appeals are pending before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal, ends of justice are served by directing the respondents not to take any coercive steps for realisation of the balance disputed tax, pending disposal of the further appeals preferred by the petitioner before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal. Both the writ petitions are disposed of as above. No order as to costs. _________________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J ____________________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 10th December, 2009. GRR
