Being aggrieved of Exts.P1 and P1(a) penalty order passed by the first respondent in respect of different assessment years, the petitioner filed Exts.P2 and P2(a) revision petitions along with Exts.P3 and P3(a) petitions for stay, which are pending consideration before the 2nd respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that without any regard to the pendency of the above proceedings, the respondents are proceeding with coercive steps, as borne by Ext.P4 notice, which hence are sought to be intercepted by this Court.
2. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well.
3. Considering the facts and circumstances, the 2nd respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on Exts.P3 and P3(a) petitions for stay, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within 'one month' from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Coercive proceedings pursuant W.P.C.No.29533 OF 2014 2 to Ext.P4 shall be kept in abeyance till such time.
Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment, along with copy of the writ petition, before the 2nd respondent, for further steps.
The Writ Petition is disposed of.
