Court sets aside default tax assessment orders, grants Petitioner opportunity to present case before appropriate authority.
The court set aside the default orders of assessment of tax, interest, and penalty issued by the AVATO of Ward 59 under the DVAT Act. The Petitioner was directed to appear before the jurisdictional VATO of Ward 62 with accounts and records, agreeing to provide information as requested. The impugned order was revoked, and the Petitioner was granted the opportunity to present their case before the appropriate authority, ensuring compliance with due process in the assessment proceedings.
Issues: Challenge to default orders of assessment of tax, interest, and penalty under DVAT Act based on jurisdictional officer's authority.
Analysis: The writ petition challenged default orders of assessment of tax, interest, and penalty issued by the AVATO of Ward 59 under Sections 32 and 33 of the DVAT Act. The petitioner contended that the jurisdictional officer for them was the VATO of Ward 62, not the AVATO of Ward 59. The impugned orders were preceded by a notice alleging purchases from suspicious dealers, requiring the production of books of accounts and evidence.
During the hearing, the Respondent conceded to setting aside the impugned orders subject to the Petitioner appearing before the jurisdictional VATO of Ward 62 with accounts and records, agreeing to provide information as requested. Consequently, the Court set aside the impugned order dated 12th January 2015 passed by the AVATO of Ward 59. The Petitioner was directed to appear before the VATO of Ward 62 to produce books of accounts, evidence, and any other information sought. The Petitioner would be provided with any material gathered against them to offer an explanation and afforded the right to cross-examine any person whose statement was relied upon by the VATO.
Ultimately, the writ petition and applications were disposed of with the above terms, ensuring compliance with the jurisdictional authority and due process in the assessment proceedings under the DVAT Act.
