1. Petitioner’s father was a dealer under the KGST Act. Exts.P1 and P2 are the assessment orders pertaining to the years 1993-94 and 1994-95. Similarly assessments were also completed in respect of the years 1992-93, 1995-96 and 1996-97. It appears that for recovery of the tax due, revenue recovery proceedings were initiated and according to the Government, property having an extent of 6.2 Acres situated in R.S.No.286/14 in Block No.23 of Kottarakkara Village was attached by the respondents in 2000 and the property was brought to sale on 14.3.2005. There were no bidders and the property was treated as bought in land. The sale was also confirmed by Ext.P5 order dated 2.2.2006. 2. In the meanwhile, on 11.3.2005, the petitioner filed appeals against the assessment orders pertaining to the years 1992-93, 1995-96 and 1996-97. Although it is contended that the appellate authority had granted stay of recovery, there is nothing on record to substantiate the same. Be that as it may, by Ex...
