P.C. : These are motions for extension of time for disposal of appeals by the Collector, Motor Spirits (Appeal) Taxation. Though by the order of this Court dated 25 August 2011 a period of eight weeks was fixed for disposal of the appeals, it has been stated in the affidavit in support that the appeals raise issues of sales made to fishermen co- operative societies and would require reconciliation of turn over, purchase tax and levy of interest. It has been stated that the issues will require enormous verification of facts. The application for extension is not opposed. Hence, we extend time for disposal of the appeals until 31 December 2012. The bank guarantees, as already directed, Dmt 6 nmw518-11 & ors. shall be kept alive during the pendency of the appeals. 2. The Motions are accordingly disposed of. (Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, J.) (A. A. Sayed, J.)
