Issues: Whether the period of limitation for initiating reassessment under section 19(1) of the M.P. General Sales Tax Act, 1958 runs from the original assessment order or from the fresh assessment order passed after a limited remand.
Analysis: The appeal against the original assessment was confined to a single grievance relating to opportunity to file B2 and appendix declarations. The appellate authority set aside the assessment only to that limited extent and directed a fresh order after granting that opportunity. The subsequent assessment order passed after remand left the other parts of the original assessment untouched. On the settled principle that merger depends on the scope of the appellate or revisional order, only the part actually dealt with in appeal merges in the appellate order. A limited remand does not wipe out the entire original assessment. The Court therefore held that the original assessment did not wholly merge in the fresh order passed after remand, and limitation for reassessment under section 19(1) could not be reckoned from the later order for matters not covered by the remand.
Conclusion: The reassessment proceedings were barred by limitation, and the assessee succeeded.
Ratio Decidendi: In the case of a limited remand, only the part of the assessment actually set aside or reconsidered merges in the subsequent order; the original order survives for the remaining issues, and limitation for reopening or reassessment of those matters runs from the original assessment order.
