 WP(C) NO. 17611 OF 2022                 2



                                  JUDGMENT

Aggrieved by Ext.P1 order of assessment relating to assessment year 2015-16, petitioner has preferred an appeal before the 2nd respondent, a copy of which is produced as Ext.P2. A petition for stay of proceedings pursuant to the assessment order has also been filed as Ext.P3. Petitioner apprehends coercive proceedings even before the petition for stay is considered. Hence, this writ petition.

2. Having considered the submissions of the counsel for the petitioner as well as the respondents, I am of the opinion that this writ petition itself can be disposed with a direction.

3. Accordingly, there will be a direction to the 2 nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 stay petition, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till such a decision is taken, all coercive proceedings against the petitioner shall be kept in abeyance.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
