2.

The petitioner, a registered dealer under the Kerala Value Added Tax Act, was served with an assessment order by rejecting the self assessment made by the petitioner for the year 2015- 2016. The statutory appeal filed by the petitioner is reportedly pending with the 5th respondent. It is stated that the applications for condonation of delay as well as stay are also pending consideration of the 5th respondent and those are posted for hearing in the month of March 2021. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner argued that during the pendency of the appeal, stay petition and the application for condonation of delay, respondents have served revenue recovery notice on the petitioner. As the application for condonation of delay so also the application for stay in the statutory appeal is pending, I deem it appropriate to defer the proceedings of revenue recovery pursuant to the assessment order till disposal of the application for condonation of delay as well as application for stay if the occasion so arises to consider it. It is expected of the learned Tribunal to dispose of the application for condonation of delay and if the occasion so arises, the application for stay within a period of two months from the date of communication of this judgment. Till then, revenue recovery proceedings initiated as per the communication, Ext.P8, be kept in abeyance. The petitioner to co-operate the learned Tribunal in disposal of the pending applications as well as appeal. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
