The petitioner challenges the demand notice issued for the assessment years 2009-10, 2011-12 and 2012-13. The contention of the petitioner is that he had stopped the business and that the assessment orders were not served on him. 2. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the assessment orders were passed with due notice, which were returned as unclaimed. The petitioner prays that he may be given an opportunity to file an appeal. However that cannot absolve the petitioner from paying the assessed amounts immediately, which definitely, would be subject to any appeal intended to be prosecuted by the petitioner.
3. In the above circumstances, there shall WP(C).12838/14 2 be a direction to the 1st respondent to issue certified copies of the assessment orders passed for the aforesaid years, within a period of two weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this judgment along with an application for such certified copy. It is also directed that the demand raised as per Exts.P3, P4 and P5 shall be kept in abeyance on condition of the petitioner satisfying the demand in six monthly instalments starting from 28.06.2014.
Writ petition disposed of.
