RESPONDENT The Hon’ble Sri Justice Bilal Nazki and The Hon’ble Sri Justice S.Ananda Reddy WVMP.No.1270 of 2007 in/and Writ Petition No.970 of 2006 Common Order: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice Bilal Nazki) While entertaining the Writ Petition on 17-01-2006, this Court granted interim stay as prayed for, which would mean that the recovery of tax has been stayed. Today, we are told that the appeal, which has been filed by the petitioner in May, 2006, is pending before the Tribunal. One year has already passed and the case might also be ready for hearing. Now, a Vacate Stay petition has been filed. Since the interim stay granted by this Court has been operative for a long time and the appeal is pending for a year, we think that it will be appropriate, at this stage, to direct the Tribunal to dispose of the appeal expeditiously. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of and the Tribunal is directed to dispose of the appeal after hearing the parties within a period of four weeks. Consequentially, the Vacate Stay Petition also stands disposed of. No costs. ____________________ (Bilal Nazki, J) 26th June, 2007 ______________________ (S.Ananda Reddy, J) Note: Order copy be sent to the Tribunal by the Registry directly. B/o lur
