Issues: Whether the assessment order levying tax at a higher rate should be set aside and the matter remitted for fresh consideration after giving the petitioners an opportunity to produce documents and be heard.
Analysis: The assessment notice was issued for the relevant year and the petitioners sought a worksheet and time to produce supporting records. The record showed that the assessment was completed by a different officer and that the petitioners were located outside the State, with documents spread across several departments. In these circumstances, the Court found that a further opportunity to place the material before the Assessing Authority would not prejudice the revenue, particularly when the admitted tax had already been paid. To protect the revenue during reconsideration, the Court also directed furnishing of bank guarantee for the disputed amount.
Conclusion: The assessment order was set aside and the matter was remitted to the Assessing Authority for fresh consideration after giving the petitioners an opportunity to file documents and be personally heard.
Final Conclusion: The writ petition succeeded to the extent of remand, with the dispute on tax liability left open for reconsideration by the Assessing Authority.
Ratio Decidendi: Where an assessment is completed without adequate opportunity to produce relevant documents, the order can be set aside and the matter remitted for fresh decision after compliance with natural justice and personal hearing.
