W.P.(C) Nos. 7703 & 7715 OF 2010 ......................................................................... Dated this the 10th March , 2010 J U D G M E N T The issue involved in both these cases is rather similar and hence are dealt with together. 2. Challenging Ext.P1 (in both the cases) assessment orders, the petitioners have preferred Ext.P2 appeals, along with Ext. P3 petitions for early hearing of the appeals. The grievance of the petitioners is that without passing appropriate orders on Ext. P3 petitions for early hearing of the appeals, the respondents are proceeding with further steps to get the amount, stated as due from the petitioners, realised by issuing Ext. P4 recovery notices under the Revenue Recovery Act and hence are under challenge in this Writ Petition. 3. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well 4. Considering the facts and circumstances, the second respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders W.P.(C) Nos. 7703 & 7715 OF 2010 2 on Ext.P3 petitions for early hearing of the appeals, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment . The Writ Petition is disposed of. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. lk
