Following the reply, the Opposite Party was instructed to pass an order on the SCN by 15th March, 2021, with communication to the Petitioner by 22nd March, 2021. In case the order is adverse to the Petitioner, the enforcement of the demand shall be stayed for ten days to allow the Petitioner to seek legal remedies.Furthermore, the Court disposed of the writ petition with the mentioned directives. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the parties were advised to use a soft copy of the order available on the High Court's website, treating it equivalent to a certified copy as per the Court's Notice No.4587 dated 25th March, 2020. The judgment aimed to ensure procedural fairness and adherence to timelines in dealing with the tax dispute, providing the Petitioner with an opportunity to present their case and seek appropriate legal recourse if needed.
