BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI, PRADEEP THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ----------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 13271 OF 2008 ----------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT Aggrieved by Ext.P2 order of penalty imposed by the 1st respondent, the petitioner has filed Ext.P3 revision before the 2nd respondent. Along with Ext.P3, Ext.P4 stay petition also has been filed. According to the petitioner, though he has filed application for early posting, the stay petition has not been heard till date. In the meanwhile, by issuing Ext.P6 demand notice, respondents are attempting to realise the amount and it is on account of this reason, this Writ Petition has been filed. 2. Having regard to the facts as above, I feel that at least the stay petition should be considered by the revisional authority, before whom Ext.P3 is pending. Accordingly, before proceeding further with Ext.P6 demand notice, Ext.P4 stay petition shall be considered. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the 2nd respondent shall take up, consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 stay petition filed by the petitioner along with Ext.P3 revision. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any WPC No. 13271 OF 2008 2 rate, within three weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. In the mean time, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P6 will stand deferred for a period of six weeks. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ttb WPC No. 13271 OF 2008 3 WPC No. 13271 OF 2008 4
