Ext.P5 is an order passed by the Deputy Commissioner, the second respondent herein, on 4.5.2005 in an interlocutory application for stay, pending consideration of the revision petition. As per the said order, petitioner was required to pay an amount of Rs. 1,00,000/- as a condition for granting stay of recovery of the balance amount of penalty. More than 1 1/2 years have elapsed after Ext.P5 order was passed. No challenge whatsoever was made to that order. Petitioner did not admittedly comply with the said order. As such he has lost the benefit of the said order passed by the revisional authority. The revenue recovery proceedings initiated in such circumstances, cannot be faulted and as such the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. P.R.
