Accordingly, the 2nd respondent is directed to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 stay petition filed along with the appeal, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, as early as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 3. The respondents are directed to keep in abeyance steps for realisation of the amount covered under Ext.P1 order of assessment which is initiated on the basis of Ext.P4 W.P.(C)No. 34001 of 2009 -2- notice, till orders are issued by the 2nd respondent as directed above. 4. The 2nd respondent is also directed to take steps for an early disposal of the appeal. C.K. ABDUL REHIM JUDGE shg/
