Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has paid the tax liability and also a portion of the interest. Without considering this aspect of the matter the Assessing Authority passed the impugned order Annexure H dated 08.01.2013 rejecting the stay application filed by the petitioner. Therefore the petitioner is before this Court.

If such an application is filed by the petitioner then the same shall be considered in accordance with law without being influenced by the order at Annexure H dated

08.01.2013 passed by the Assessing Authority. To enable the petitioner to approach the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) for necessary reliefs the respondents are hereby directed not to take coercive steps against the petitioner for a period of four weeks from today.
