The petitioner submits that Ext.P2 statutory appeal has been preferred against Ext.P1 and Ext.P3 stay petition has also been moved. It is stated that, in the meanwhile, Ext.P4 revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated for enforcement of Ext.P1. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, I am of the opinion that Ext.P3 stay petition is liable to be considered by the second respondent without further delay before enforcing the revenue recovery proceedings as against the petitioner on the strength of Ext.P1. There will accordingly be a direction to the second respondent to take up, consider and pass appropriate order on Ext.P3 with notice to the petitioner also, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till such time as

WP(C).No. 15684 of 2019 3 orders are passed on Ext.P3 as directed above, coercive steps against the petitioner on the strength of Ext.P1 shall be kept in abeyance. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. ANU SIVARAMAN JUDGE rmm
