JUDGMENT Against Ext. P1 assessment order, the petitioner filed Ext. P2 appeal along with Ext. P3 stay petition and Ext. P4 application to condone delay in filing the appeal. The petitioner's grievance is that before the appellate authority could consider the matter, Ext. P5 revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated. Petitioner seeks the following reliefs : "(i) To call for the records leading to Ext. P1 to P5 and direct the second respondent to dispose of Exhibits P3 and P4 expeditiously by issuing a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ direction or order; (ii) To direct the respondents 1, 4 and 5 to keep in abeyance the recovery steps pursuant to Ext. P1 Assessment order and Ext. P5 revenue recovery demand notice for the assessment year 2008-09 till the disposal of the appeal by issuing a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ direction or order." I have heard learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case I dispose of the writ petition with the following directions. The 2nd respondent shall consider Ext. P4 application to condone delay in filing the appeal as expeditiously as possible at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If the 3rd respondent is inclined to condone the delay he shall consider Ext. P3 stay petition also simultaneously. To enable the appellate authority to do so coercive recovery proceedings shall be kept in abeyance for the period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
