2019 (8) TMI 298 - KERALA HIGH COURTCompounding application - demand notices are issued without an order being passed in terms of Ext.P1 judgment - HELD THAT:- A statement has been placed on record on behalf of the respondents in both the writ petitions stating that before Ext.P1 judgment was brought to the notice of the authority, action had already been initiated by issuing the demand notices. It is stated that in the light of the directions contained in Ext.P1, the issue will be reconsidered with notice to the petitioner and after hearing the petitioner also. Having considered the contentions advanced, the demand notices which are issued without reference to Ext.P1 judgment cannot survive. Ext.P2 are accordingly set aside. The respondents shall consider the applications preferred by the petitioner for compounding, subject to maintainability as directed in Ext.P1 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to say, as directed in Ext.P1, coercive proceedings against the petitioner shall be deferred until the compounding applications are duly considered and disposed of. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petitions before the first respondent for compliance.
