Issues: Whether the Trade Tax Tribunal acted without jurisdiction in remanding the matter to the assessing authority after partly allowing the assessee's appeal, and whether the order of remand deserved to be quashed.
Analysis: The revision challenged the Tribunal's power to remand after the High Court had earlier directed reconsideration of the matter. The record showed that the relevant form XXXI and connected files were not available, and the Tribunal found that the dispute could not be decided without examining those documents. In these circumstances, the Tribunal set aside the appellate orders and remitted the matter for fresh decision by the assessing authority. The High Court held that its earlier direction did not fetter the Tribunal's power to pass an appropriate order, including remand, and that no error was shown in the Tribunal's approach. The Court also noticed the statutory time contemplated for reassessment after remand under section 21(4) of the U.P. Trade Tax Act, 1948, and directed expeditious disposal.
Conclusion: The remand order was upheld and the request to quash the Tribunal's order was refused.
Final Conclusion: The challenge to the Tribunal's remand failed, while the assessing authority was directed to complete the matter promptly on remand.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the relevant records are unavailable and the dispute cannot be adjudicated on merits, the Tribunal may validly remand the matter to the assessing authority unless expressly barred by the earlier order.
