NO. 15837 OF 2008 I -------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th June, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to the first respondent restraining him from conducting auction pursuant to Ext.P6 notice in view of the pendency of Ext.P5 application for settlement of arrears of sales tax under the Amnesty Scheme. In the meantime, the property of the petitioner is being proceeded with under Ext.P6. It is pointed out by the learned Government Pleader that actually there was no proper application. But, it is submitted by petitioner that the defects have been rectified and, at any rate, the last date for filing the application is 30.6.2008. In such circumstances, I feel that the recovery proceedings as evident by Ext.P6 shall stand adjourned for a period of one month from today, so that the petitioner can avail the benefit of the Amnesty Scheme. Ordered accordingly. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
