Issues: Whether the writ petition should be disposed of by directing the Excise and Taxation Officer to decide the petitioner's claim by a speaking order after giving an opportunity of personal hearing, with liberty to pursue the statutory appeal thereafter.
Analysis: The petition arose from a claim which the other authorities declined to entertain on the ground that the matter fell within the jurisdiction of the Excise and Taxation Officer. The record also showed that any earlier directions were not addressed to that officer. In these circumstances, the appropriate course was to require the competent authority to examine the legal notice and pass a reasoned order after hearing the petitioner. The Court also clarified that observations made by the other authorities would not influence that decision, and that the petitioner could avail the appellate remedy under the applicable value added tax law if still aggrieved.
Conclusion: The petition was disposed of by directing the Excise and Taxation Officer to decide the claim by a speaking order after personal hearing, with liberty to invoke the statutory appeal against that order.
Final Conclusion: The matter was not decided on merits and was instead sent to the competent authority for fresh consideration, preserving the petitioner's statutory remedy thereafter.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the competent authority has not yet examined the claim, the writ court may direct decision by a reasoned order after hearing, rather than adjudicating the dispute itself.
