High Court closes writ petitions after parties reach compromise on outstanding dues before Appellate Authority.
The High Court disposed of the writ petitions based on a compromise reached before the Appellate Authority for Industrial and Financial Reconstructions (AAIFR) on 20.2.2014. The parties agreed to terms including waiver of interest, penal interest, and penalties, with the appellant agreeing to pay outstanding dues to the Sales Tax Department in installments. The High Court found no further orders necessary and closed the petitions, incorporating the compromise into its order. No costs were awarded, and related miscellaneous petitions were closed due to the resolution facilitated by the AAIFR.
Issues: 1. Petitioner seeking disposal of writ petitions based on consent order dated 20.2.2014 by AAIFR.
Analysis: The petitioner filed petitions in MP.Nos.1 and 1 of 2014 seeking disposal of the writ petitions in terms of the consent order dated 20.2.2014 passed by the Appellate Authority for Industrial and Financial Reconstructions (AAIFR) in Appeal No.233 of 2009. The appeal was taken up for final hearing on 20.2.2014 by the AAIFR, and by consent of parties, it was disposed of on the same day. The consent order included relief and concessions to the appellant on waiver of interest, penal interest, and penalty up to a specified date. The appellant agreed to pay 50% of the outstanding dues to the Sales Tax Department by a certain date and the remaining 50% by another date as part of the settlement of Sales-Tax dues in line with the sanctioned scheme.
In light of the compromise reached between the parties before the AAIFR, the High Court found no further order necessary in the writ petitions. Consequently, the writ petitions were disposed of based on the compromise entered into on 20.2.2014 before the AAIFR, which was made a part of the High Court's order. No costs were awarded in this matter, and the connected miscellaneous petitions were closed as a result of the resolution between the parties facilitated by the AAIFR.
