Challenging Exts. P1 and P1(a) Orders passed by the 1st respondent finalising the assessment, the petitioner filed an appeal before the concerned appellate authority which did not turn to be fruitful as borne by Exts. P2 and P2(a) dated 7.5.2012. Met with the situation, the petitioner approached the 2nd respondent Tribunal by Exts.P3 and P3(a) appeals. After considering the Interlocutory Application for stay, Ext.P4 Order was passed on 3.8.2012 and the petitioner was enjoying the benefit of interim stay as aforesaid. In the meanwhile, because of the default on the part of the petitioner, the appeals came to be dismissed as per Exts.P5 and P5(a) Orders dated 23.09.2014. Immediately on coming across the said instance, the petitioner filed Exts.P6 and P6(a) petitions seeking to restore the appeals, but the said petitions are still pending consideration. At the same time, the petitioner is confronted with Revenue Recovery proceedings which made the petitioner approach this Court by W.P.(C) No. 33972/2014 -2-

Coercive proceedings, if any, shall be kept in abeyance till such time.
