THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ami/ C.K.ABDUL REHIM, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C).No. 6728 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of March, 2011. J U D G M E N T Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P1 order of assessment issued under the provisions of the Kerala Building Tax Act, demanding luxury tax under section 5 A of the Act, which was confirmed through Ext.P2 order of the appellate authority. 2. It is noticed that aggrieved by Ext.P2, the petitioner had filed statutory revision before the first respondent as evidenced from Ext.P3. According to the petitioner, Ext.P3 revision is pending consideration and disposal before the first respondent. Therefore, I am of the view that interest of justice will be served if a direction is issued to the first respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P3 on an early basis. 3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 2 W.P.(C).No. 6728 of 2011 revision petition, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, as early as possible, at any rate within a period of 6 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 4. Till such time Ext.P3 is disposed of, recovery of amounts covered under Ext.P1 or due under assessment if any made for the subsequent periods, shall be kept in abeyance, subject to condition of the petitioner remitting 50% of the amount in demand.
