It is pointed out that the said appeal has been heard on 23/2/2008 and that orders are awaited. Ext.P3 is the notice of hearing that is referred to in this context. While so, petitioner has been served with Exts. P4 and P5 notices issued under the Revenue Recovery Act to realise the amount due in terms of Ext.P1 and hence this writ petition. 2. Now that the appellate authority has already heard Ext.P2 appeal and orders are awaited, I feel further proceedings pursuant to Exts.P4 and P5 should await further orders in the appeal. 3. Accordingly,I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 2nd respondent shall pass final orders on Ext.P2, as WPC 6942/08 :2 : expeditiously as possible, at any rate within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. 4. In the meantime, further proceedings pursuant to Exts. P4 and P5 will stand stayed for a period of six weeks from today. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
