For the year 2000-2001 the second respondent completed the assessment disallowing the consignment sales of gram dhal and black gram treating them as intrastate sales. The petitioner’s appeal before the Appellate Deputy Commissioner was dismissed, against which the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal (STAT). Pending the appeal, he sought stay of collection of tax by filing revision before the first respondent. By impugned order, dated 28.05.2004, the same was rejected, aggrieved by which, the petitioner is before this Court. This Court while admitting the matter on 19.10.2004 granted stay of collection of disputed tax of Rs.52,448/- on condition of the petitioner depositing half of the demanded amount. The respondents have not filed any counter affidavit. In that view of the matter, and also taking into consideration the fact that the appeal before the STAT cannot be kept pending longer, we deem it proper to dispose of the writ petition in terms of the interim order dated 19.10.2004 observing that if the appeal before the STAT is not already disposed of, the same may be disposed of within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) _____________________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J) 14.03.2011 vs
