Being aggrieved of Ext. P1 assessment order passed by the second respondent for the assessment years 2009 - '10, the petitioner has already preferred Ext. P6 appeal along with petition to condone delay and petition for stay, which are pending consideration before the first respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that, without any regard to the pendency of the above proceedings and despite satisfaction of 30 % of the disputed liability, as borne by Ext.P5, the third respondent is proceeding with coercive steps, as borne by Ext.P4, which hence is sought to be intercepted.
2. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well.
3. Considering the facts and circumstances, the first respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on petition to condone the delay and petition for stay (filed along with Ext. P6 appeal), 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 W.P.(C) No. 28227 of 2014 : 2 :
proceedings pursuant 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 first respondent for further steps.
The Writ Petition is disposed of.
