“(i) call for the records leading to the Reveneu Recovery Proceedings under Exhibit P-1 Demand Notice and issue a Writ of Certiorari or any other appropriate Writ, Order or Direction, to quash Exhibit P-1 Demand Notice in RR/2013/3953/10.
(ii) issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ, Order or Direction, directing the respondents to defer the entire recovery proceedings against the petitioner in pursuance of Exhibit P-1 Demand Notice for a period of months so as to enable the petitioner to find out a prospective buyer for sale of 8 cents of land out of 18 cents of his house compound, for paying off the debt due to the 1st respondent under One Time Settlement Scheme.
