STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, COMMERCIAL TAXES DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 2. THE KERALA AGRICULTURAL INCOME TAX & SALES TAX APPELLATE TRIBUNAL, ADDITIONAL BENCH, PALAKKAD. BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.TEKCHAND THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 5861 OF 2008 W ==================== Dated this the 19th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P3. Ext.P3 is an order passed by the 2nd respondent granting stay on condition that the petitioner remits Rs.5 lakhs out of Rs.14.56 lakhs. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the entire demand is based on electricity consumption and therefore the very assessment has no basis. I am not in a position to appreciate that contention in this writ petition. 2. Considering the limited nature of the challenge that is raised, I do not think that there is any circumstances vitiating Ext.P3 requiring remittance of only 1/3rd of the amount due. However, time fixed for compliance with Ext.P3 order will stand extended by ten days from today. Writ petition is disposed of. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
