Issues: Whether refund could be claimed under the sales tax statute after the assessment orders had attained finality, relying on a subsequent tribunal decision holding the activity not to be manufacture; whether revision at the instance of the assessee was maintainable; and whether the final assessment orders could be challenged in writ jurisdiction after failure to pursue the statutory appeal.
Analysis: The provision for refund operated where excess tax arose from an assessment, reassessment, modification, or annulment of that order. It did not permit a collateral refund claim where the assessment had become final and conclusive. The revisional power was vested in the Commissioner and, on the statutory scheme, could not be invoked by the assessee as of right. The subsequent tribunal view in another proceeding did not reopen assessments that had already attained finality in the petitioners' own case. The Court also applied the principles of laches, acquiescence, and the discretionary nature of certiorari, holding that the petitioners had allowed the statutory remedy to lapse and could not revive the matter indirectly through refund or writ proceedings.
Conclusion: The refund and revision claims were not maintainable and the final assessments could not be disturbed in writ proceedings. The decision was against the assessee and in favour of the Revenue.
