Court sets aside assessment orders, remands for fresh review, personal hearing, and compliance.
The Court allowed the writ petitions, setting aside the impugned assessment orders for the years 2013-14 to 2016-17. The matter was remanded to the Assessing Officer for fresh consideration, directing a review of the petitioner's objections, provision of a personal hearing, and compliance with the law in conducting the assessment. The Court leaned towards accepting the petitioner's version due to lack of evidence supporting the claim that objections were not on record and absence of denial regarding the objections' authenticity. No costs were awarded, and connected miscellaneous petitions were closed.
Issues: Challenge to impugned assessment orders based on alleged non-consideration of objections by the Assessing Officer.
Analysis: The petitioner, a registered dealer under the TNVAT Act and CST Act, challenged assessment orders for the years 2013-14 to 2016-17, claiming that their objections dated 10.06.2017 and 11.06.2017 were not considered by the Assessing Officer, despite being received. The key contention was that the assessment was completed as if no objections were received.
The Special Government Pleader, representing the respondent, requested time to obtain instructions from officials. An email from an official stated that no objections were filed by the dealer and no records were available. However, the response was ambiguous, allowing for multiple interpretations. The Court emphasized the need for a clear response, especially when the dealer had produced copies of the objections with the Assessing Officer's signature and seal. Given the lack of evidence to support the claim that objections were not on record and the absence of any denial regarding the authenticity of the objections, the Court inclined to accept the petitioner's version.
Consequently, the writ petitions were allowed, the impugned orders were set aside, and the matter was remanded to the Assessing Officer for fresh consideration. The Assessing Officer was directed to review the petitioner's objections, provide a chance for a personal hearing, and conduct the assessment in compliance with the law. No costs were awarded, and connected miscellaneous petitions were closed.
