        <h1>Jurisdiction upheld in tax assessments; Assessee's obligations emphasized. Natural justice upheld; C forms rejection deemed arbitrary.</h1> <h3>The Titaghur Paper Mills Co. Limited Versus State of Orissa and Others</h3> The court upheld the jurisdiction of the Assessing Authority in Orissa Sales Tax (O.S.T.) assessments, dismissing claims of assessments being void. It ... - Issues Involved:1. Jurisdiction of the Assessing Authority2. Requirement for the Assessee to Maintain Accounts3. Opportunity for the Assessee to Explain Anomalies4. Influence of Extraneous and Irrelevant Considerations5. Violation of Natural Justice6. Rejection of C Forms in Central Sales Tax (C.S.T.) AssessmentsDetailed Analysis:1. Jurisdiction of the Assessing Authority:The petitioner argued that the assessments were made without jurisdiction under sections 12(4) and 15 of the Orissa Sales Tax Act, rendering the orders void. The court found that the assessing authority had indeed followed due process by issuing notices and providing opportunities for the petitioner to clarify and support the returns. The court held that even if the returns were filed beyond the prescribed date, the assessing authority had the jurisdiction to resort to best judgment assessment under section 12(4). The court dismissed the contention that the assessments were made without jurisdiction, citing that 'the mistaken mention of a particular section or the label or the nomenclature used is not determinative of the validity of an assessment.'2. Requirement for the Assessee to Maintain Accounts:The petitioner contended that as a manufacturer, it was only required to maintain accounts of its sales and not of its purchases or consumption of raw materials like bamboos, caustic soda, and electricity. The court rejected this argument, stating that maintaining accounts of raw materials is essential to verify the quantum of paper produced. The court emphasized that without such accounts, it would be impossible to check the accuracy of the sales records, thus upholding the assessing officer's approach.3. Opportunity for the Assessee to Explain Anomalies:The petitioner claimed that it was not given an opportunity to explain anomalies found in the accounts. The court noted that the assessing officer had provided ample opportunities for the petitioner to clarify discrepancies, but the petitioner's representatives failed to offer satisfactory explanations. The court found that the assessment was based on the petitioner's own books of account and not on any external information, thus dismissing this contention.4. Influence of Extraneous and Irrelevant Considerations:The petitioner argued that the assessments were influenced by irrelevant considerations, such as being labeled a habitual law-breaker and being penalized for environmental violations. The court acknowledged that while these observations were made, they did not influence the assessment. The court cited the Supreme Court's guidance that the order should be read as a whole to determine if irrelevant considerations affected the final conclusion. The court concluded that the assessments were based on discrepancies found in the petitioner's accounts and not on the extraneous observations.5. Violation of Natural Justice:The petitioner argued that the assessments violated principles of natural justice, rendering the orders null and void. The court held that the assessing officer had followed due process, provided opportunities for the petitioner to present evidence, and adhered to the principles of natural justice. The court found no violation that would justify interference under Article 226 of the Constitution.6. Rejection of C Forms in Central Sales Tax (C.S.T.) Assessments:The petitioner contended that the rejection of numerous C forms was whimsical and that sufficient time was not given to rectify defects. The court observed that while opportunities were given, the practical difficulty of obtaining proper C forms within a short time was recognized. The court directed the revenue to give the petitioner another chance to rectify the defects in the C forms and finalize the assessment according to law. Consequently, the assessments and demands for the C.S.T. cases were quashed and remanded for reassessment.Conclusion:The court rejected the petitions related to the Orissa Sales Tax (O.S.T.) assessments, finding no grounds for interference. However, the petitions related to the Central Sales Tax (C.S.T.) assessments were allowed, with directions for reassessment after providing the petitioner an opportunity to rectify the defects in the C forms. Each party was ordered to bear its own costs.
