Held
The High Court directed the KVAT Appellate Tribunal to consider the petitioner's stay petition expeditiously, preferably within one month. An interim order was granted against recovery of the remaining amount, conditional on the petitioner depositing 25% of the modified demand of Rs.13,00,838/-.
Facts

Key Issues
The key issue was the delay in the KVAT Appellate Tribunal hearing a stay application, leading to coercive recovery measures against the petitioner, and the need for interim protection.
