Pursuant thereto, Ext.P2 penal bill has been issued to the petitioner. The petitioner filed Ext. P4 objection against the same.

The learned sanding counsel for the Board submits W.P.(C) No. 1253/2008/Y -2- that Ext.P4 can be considered and orders passed in accordance with law. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible. Till disposal of Ext.P4, further coercive proceedings for recovery of the amounts on Ext.P2 shall be kept in abeyance, if the petitioner pays 1/4th of the amounts covered by Ext.P2.
