Being aggrieved of Exts. P4 and P5 assessment orders passed by the first respondent for the assessment years 2008 - '09 and 2009 - '10, the petitioner has already preferred Exts. P6 and P7 appeals along with petition to condone delay and petition for stay, which are pending consideration before the second respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that, without any regard to the pendency of the above proceedings, the first respondent is proceeding with coercive steps, as borne by Exts. P2 and P3 series, which hence is sought to be intercepted.

P2 and P3 series shall be kept in abeyance till such time.
