NO. 32056 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 29th day of October, 2007 J U D G M E N T Aggrieved by Ext.P1 order, petitioner has filed an appeal before the 3rd respondent. However, petitioner did not move any application for stay. In the meanwhile, revenue recovery proceedings has been initiated against the petitioner as per Ext.P3 and hence this writ petition. Although the petitioner has not moved an application for stay before the 3rd respondent appellate authority, in view of the pendency of Ext.P2 appeal filed before that authority, I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: (i) The 3rd respondent shall consider and dispose of Ext.P3 appeal with notice to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. (ii) In the meanwhile, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P3 and P4 will stand stayed on condition that the petitioner remits an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent for compliance. . ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE vps
