No.5128 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 26th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioner is against Ext.P4 prohibitory order dated 10/02/2009 issued by the 1st respondent, in the process of realising the amount that is due to the 1st respondent. On an earlier occasion, a prohibitory order similar to this was issued by the 1st respondent, and thereupon the petitioner approached this Court by filing WP(C) No.4563/2009, and this Court directed the petitioner to apply to the Government for exemption from the provisions of the Act. It is now informed that an application has been made, and that if the application is favourably allowed the amount sought to be realised by Ext.P4 will also get exempted. In fact, on this basis, WP(C) Nos.5798/2009 & 5803/2009 filed by the petitioner were also disposed of. 2. In view of the above, this writ petition is also disposed of directing that further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P4 dated 10/02/2009 issued by the 1st respondent shall be kept in abeyance until the Government passes orders on the application for exemption WP(C) No.5128/2009 -2- filed by the petitioner, in pursuance to the judgment in WP(C) No.4563/2009. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
