% 07.09.2015 CM No. 18356/2015 (exemption) The exemption is allowed subject to all just exceptions. W.P.(C) 8521/2015 and CM No. 18355/2015 We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. It is clear that the petitioner has moved an application for stay which is pending before respondent No. 2. We hope and expect that the Additional Commissioner shall dispose of the said application at an early date.

Till the disposal of that application by the Additional Commissioner, the respondents shall not take any coercive measures. The petitioner has also indicated that some other issues have been pending in respect of various assessment years starting from 1996-97 to 2010-11 before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and the next date of hearing is 14.09.2015. He submits that in case those appeals are disposed of then there would be clarity in the matter not only for the assessment year 2011-12, which is the subject matter of the present petition, but also for the future assessment years.

Accordingly, we also express our hope that the Tribunal takes up the matter on 14.09.2015 for disposal. Since the appeals have been pending for a long time before the Tribunal and the assessment years go as far back as 1996-97, it is expected that the Tribunal shall dispose of the appeals at an early date preferably within six months from today. A copy of this order be placed before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. The writ petition stands disposed of.

Dasti under signature of the Court Master.
