W.P.(C).No.35446 of 2014 2
3. It is not in dispute that Ext.P4 Revision filed by the petitioner is still pending consideration before the 1st respondent. In Ext.P4 Revision the petitioner has also sought for an interim prayer for stay, which is yet to be considered by the 1st respondent.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on the interim prayer for stay sought for in Ext.P4 Revision, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, with notice to the petitioner. Till such time all recovery proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1 demand shall be kept in abeyance.
ANIL K.NARENDRAN, JUDGE skj
