No. 7707 of 2018 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of March, 2018

JUDGMENT

Challenging Ext.P2 appellate order under the Kerala Value Added Tax Act, the petitioner preferred Ext.P3 appeal before the Kerala Value Added Tax Appellate Tribunal. Ext.P4 is the application for stay preferred by the petitioner in the appeal. It is stated that proceedings have already been initiated for realisation of the amounts covered by the order impugned in the appeal. The grievance of the petitioner, in the circumstances, concerns the delay on the part of the Tribunal in deciding the appeal.

2.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader.

3.

In the peculiar facts of this case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the Tribunal to pass

W.P.(C).No.7707/2018 2 orders on the application for stay preferred by the petitioner, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to say that till orders are passed on the application for stay, further proceedings for realization of the amounts covered by the order impugned in the appeal shall be deferred by the respondents concerned. P.B.SURESH KUMAR
