THE HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE BILAL NAZKI AND THE HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P.NO.6218 OF 2006 O R D E R (Per Hon’ble Mr.Justice Bilal Nazki) Heard learned counsel for the parties. With their consent, the writ petition is being disposed of at this stage. 2. The controversy is that pending an appeal, application for stay was dismissed by the competent authority. 3. We have gone through the record. We feel that the interest of justice would have been met if stay was granted pending appeal, subject to deposit of half of the liability. Therefore, we set aside the order of the authority and direct that half of the disputed tax liability shall be paid by the petitioner within a period of four weeks from today. The amount already paid, if any, shall be given credit to. Garnishee notices and subsequent demands are also stayed for a period of four weeks. If the amount is deposited in terms of this order, stay will continue till the disposal of the appeal. 4. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. ----------------------------- BILAL NAZKI, J ----------------------------- G. CHANDRAIAH, J AVS DATE: 28.03.2006 Note: Wire at party’s cost.
