of <h1>High Court partially allows Writ Petitions, remands for fresh assessment, emphasizes impartiality.</h1> <h3>Tvl. Amman Balaji Two Wheelers (Pvt.) Ltd. Versus Assistant Commissioner (CT), Omalur Assessment Circle, Omalur, Salem District and another</h3> Tvl. Amman Balaji Two Wheelers (Pvt.) Ltd. Versus Assistant Commissioner (CT), Omalur Assessment Circle, Omalur, Salem District and another - [2017] 97 ... Issues:Challenge to order of Appellate Deputy Commissioner under Tamil Nadu Value Added Tax Act, 2006 for assessment years 2012-13 and 2013-14.Analysis:The petitioner contested the order passed by the Appellate Deputy Commissioner challenging assessments made under the Tamil Nadu Value Added Tax Act for specific years. The High Court noted that since the issues in both writ petitions were the same and the parties identical, they were being addressed together. The Appellate Authority had not agreed with the petitioner's contentions, leading to a remand for fresh investigation to sustain the assessment. However, the Court found that the Appellate Authority's conclusions were contradictory as it both rejected the petitioner's pleas and remanded the case for further verification, which was deemed erroneous.The Court referred to a previous case to emphasize that when an Appellate Authority remands a matter for reconsideration, it should not make adverse observations on the assessment's merits. The Court highlighted that the Assessing Officer, being subordinate to the Appellate Authority, would likely follow the Authority's findings. Therefore, the Appellate Authority should have refrained from making negative observations if it believed the matter needed reexamination.In light of the above, the High Court partially allowed the Writ Petitions, vacated the Appellate Authority's findings, and remanded the matter to the first respondent for fresh consideration. The first respondent was instructed to redo the assessment after thorough verification of records and providing the petitioner with a personal hearing. The Court explicitly stated that the first respondent should not be influenced by the Appellate Authority's observations. The impugned orders were only confirmed regarding the remand portion, and no costs were awarded. The connected Miscellaneous Petitions were closed as a result of the judgment.
