JUDGMENT Against Exts. P1 to P2 orders passed by the assessing authority, the petitioner filed Exts. P3 and P4 appeals along with Exts. P3(b) and P4(b) stay applications. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that before the appellate authority could consider the stay applications, by Ext. P5 notice, revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated. The petitioner submits that it is unjust to enforce recovery through coercive proceedings when the stay applications are still undisposed of. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. I am also of opinion that it is unjust to enforce recovery proceedings without first disposing of the stay applications. Accordingly, the 2nd respondent is directed to consider and pass orders on Exts. P3(b) and P4(b) stay applications filed by the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. Till orders are so passed, further coercive proceedings initiated including revenue recovery proceedings shall be kept in abeyance. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
