Issues: Whether the assessment order and pre-assessment notice issued by treating the business as a partnership firm were valid when the records indicated that the business was carried on as a proprietorship and the petitioner asserted retirement from the partnership.
Analysis: Rule 42 of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Rules, 1959 requires a report of dissolution to be sent to the assessing authority within thirty days. However, the departmental records themselves showed that, for the relevant assessment years, returns were filed by the remaining operator in the capacity of proprietor and not as a partner. The available material therefore showed an intrinsic inconsistency with the assessment basis adopted by the assessing authority. In such circumstances, the authority ought to have examined the real status of the business for the relevant years instead of proceeding on the footing that the partnership continued.
Conclusion: The assessment order treating the business as a partnership firm and the notice proposing similar treatment were not proper. They were set aside and the matter was remanded to the assessing authority to proceed against the proprietor in accordance with law.
