The impugned order dated 17.2.2006 at Ex.Y, directing the petitioner-assessee to pay balance amount of Rs. 35 lac is the subject matter of challenge in the present petition. 3. It will not be out of place to mention that by an order dated 11.10.2004 the petitioner was directed to deposit Rs. 50 lac by 21.10.2004 by the Commissioner of Income-tax at Mumbai. Thereafter, petitioner approached the Chief Commissioner of Income Tax without complying with the order of deposit of balance amount. The order suffered by the petitioner dated 7.12.2004, passed by the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax was never challenged by the petitioner till today. . In the above view of the matter, we see no reason to interfere with the impugned directions issued to the petitioner vide order dated 17.2.2004. During the course of hearing, it was pointed out by the learned Counsel for the petitioner-assessee that the proceedings before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeal) is pending since June 2004 without any progres. We expect the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) to dispose of the proceedings as expeditiously as possible. No order as to costs. (V.C.DAGA,J.) (V.C.DAGA,J.) (V.C.DAGA,J.) (J.P.DEVADHAR,J.)
