HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE BILAL NAZKI AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE S. ANANDA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.11796 of 2007 Date: 07-06-2007. Between : M/s.Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd., Rajahmundry, rep.by its Finance & Accounts Officer. …..Petitioner And Assistant Commissioner (CT) LTU, Kakinada & others. …..Respondents. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE BILAL NAZKI AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE S. ANANDA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.11796 of 2007 ORDER : (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Bilal Nazki) Heard learned Counsel for the parties. With their consent, the writ petition is being disposed of at this stage. The grievance of the petitioner is that although the appellate authority i.e. 2nd respondent has heard the appeal and reserved the orders on 17.05.2007, the respondents are using coercive methods to recover the alleged liability and a garnishee notice has been issued on 26.05.2007, which is impugned in this writ petition. Since the appeal has been heard by the 2nd respondent as early as on 17.05.2007, we are of the view that it would be fair to wait for the orders of the appellate authority before coercive steps are taken to recover the dues. In this view of the matter, we stay the operation of notice dated 26.05.2007 till the appeal is decided by the appellate authority. The appellate authority may decide the appeal expeditiously. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. ______________ BILAL NAZKI, J 7th June 2007 ____________________ S. ANANDA REDDY, J N.B: Order by wire at party’s cost. (b/o) ajr
