JUDGMENT Against Ext. P1 assessment order, the petitioner has filed Ext. P2 appeal along with Ext. P3 stay petition. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that before the appellate authority could consider the stay application, revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated against the petitioner. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent - appellate authority to 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 a copy of this judgment. Till orders are passed on Ext. P3 further coercive proceedings for recovery of tax disputed in Ext. P2 appeal shall be kept in abeyance.
