BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.C.K.GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 6937 OF 2008 A ==================== Dated this the 28th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T Against Ext.P6 order levying penalty on the petitioner, petitioner filed Ext.P8 appeal and Ext.P9 stay petition. The appeal and stay petition are pending consideration of the 2nd respondent. In the meantime, petitioner submits that recovery is sought to be enforced following Ext.P7 demand notice and it is hence this writ petition has been filed. 2. Although the petitioner has raised several contentions on the merits of the matter, I do not think it open for this court to consider these contentions atleast at this stage as the appeal and stay petitions are pending consideration of the appellate authority. 3. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition itself directing that the 2nd respondent shall take up and consider Ext.P9 stay petition filed by the petitioner. This shall be done, as WPC 6937/08 :2 : expeditiously as possible, at any rate within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. In the meantime, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P7 demand notice will stand deferred for a period of six weeks. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 2nd respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
