No. 18554 of 2005 O R D E R: (per Sri B. Sudershan Reddy, J) It is brought to our notice that there is no dispute that the petitioner herein has already paid a sum of Rs.90,000/- out of Rs.1,84,326/- demanded towards the payment of penalty. Admittedly the petitioner had paid the entire amount of tax due. In view of the pendency of the appeal before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal, we consider it appropriate to direct the respondent herein not to take any further coercive steps for the realization of the balance amounts demanded from the petitioner, towards the penalty. There shall be an order accordingly. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. ____________________| B. Sudershan Reddy, J. ____________________ Ramesh Ranganathan, J. Date: 23—08—2005.
