JUDGMENT Against Ext. P1 assessment order, the petitioner has filed Ext. P2 appeal along with Ext. P3 stay petition. Petitioner's grievance is that, before the appellate authority could consider Ext. P3 stay petition, recovery proceedings have been initiated for recovery of the disputed tax. The petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of the stay petition and stay till then. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. I am of opinion that assessing authority should wait for some more time before the demand can be enforced insofar as the appeal and stay petition are pending. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions :- The second respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext. P3 stay petition, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. Till then, coercive recovery proceeding for recovery of the tax disputed in Ext. P2 appeal shall be kept in abeyance.
