JUDGMENT The petitioner is an assessee under the Kerala General Sales Tax Act. In respect of assessment orders passed petitioner filed Ext. P2 appeal as early as on 28-04-2008. Petitioner's grievance is that the appeal though heard on 25-11-2010 no orders have been passed yet. The petitioner seeks a direction to the appellate authority to pass orders on the appeal expeditiously. I have heard learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to pass orders on Ext. P2 appeal filed by the petitioner, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment.
