THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO and THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.12124 of 2005 ORDER (per BPR,J): Heard both sides and at their request the main writ petition itself is taken up for disposal at the stage of admission. This writ petition is filed by the petitioner-the State of Andhra Pradesh represented by its Commissioner of Commercial Taxes seeking writ of Certiorari inter alia assailing the correctness of the order dated 30.04.2004 passed by the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal in TMP No.26 of 2004 in T.A.No.319 of 2003, whereby the Appellate Tribunal granted stay pending the substantive appeal filed by the second respondent herein. Though several averments have been made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, especially as to the very competency of the Tribunal in granting stay, however, taking into consideration the fact that this Court has already suspended the order of the Appellate Tribunal, by order dated 10.06.2005, and the said interim order is still in subsistence, and that the appeal is also still pending, we deem it appropriate to direct the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal to dispose of the appeal on merits in accordance with law. The writ petition is accordingly allowed only to the extent of continuing of interim order passed by this Court on 10.06.2005 till the disposal of the appeal. There shall be no order as to costs.
