Court dismisses writ petition challenging assessment order for failure to respond to notice
The High Court of Madras dismissed a writ petition challenging an assessment order for the assessment year 2002-2003 due to the petitioner's failure to respond to the notice of proposal or seek an extension of time. The court ruled that since the petitioner did not address the factual aspects in the reply to the notice of proposal, they cannot raise those points in the writ petition. The petitioner was advised to approach the Appellate Authority to address the factual aspects. The court granted the petitioner liberty to file an appeal within two weeks and emphasized that the appeal would be considered on its merits without being bound by the period of limitation.
Issues Involved: Challenge to assessment order for the assessment year 2002-2003 without filing objections or seeking extension of time.
Analysis: The High Court of Madras addressed a writ petition challenging an assessment order dated 27.12.2018 for the assessment year 2002-2003. The court noted that the petitioner did not respond to the notice of proposal dated 09.11.2018 served on 14.11.2018, nor did the petitioner seek an extension of time to respond. The court highlighted that the petitioner directly filed the writ petition after the assessment order was passed, without addressing the factual aspects in the reply to the notice of proposal. Consequently, the court ruled that the petitioner cannot raise all points in the writ petition related to the factual aspects since no reply was filed earlier. The court advised the petitioner to address the matter before the Appellate Authority to consider and decide on the factual aspects. The court disposed of the writ petition by granting liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal against the impugned order within two weeks from receiving a copy of the order. The court emphasized that any appeal filed would be considered by the Appellate Authority on its merits, and appropriate orders would be passed in accordance with the law, without being bound by the period of limitation. No costs were awarded, and connected miscellaneous petitions were closed as a result of the judgment.
