Court Overturns Refund Adjustment for 2022-23, Citing Breach of Natural Justice; Orders Lawful Procedure Compliance.
The court set aside the impugned order adjusting the refund for assessment year 2022-23 against disputed tax demands from other years, citing a breach of natural justice. The petitioner argued that the adjustment was made without proper procedure and against a previously stayed demand. The court acknowledged these issues, allowing the concerned officer to proceed according to the law. The writ petition was disposed of, with instructions for parties to act based on the digitally signed order.
Issues involved: The issues involved in the judgment are the adjustment of refund against tax demands, breach of principles of natural justice, and stay of demand for assessment year 2022-23.
Adjustment of refund against tax demands: The petitioner sought to quash the intimation adjusting the refund due for assessment year 2022-23 against disputed outstanding tax demands for other assessment years. The petitioner's counsel argued that the adjustment was made in violation of the statutory mandate. The petitioner's grievance was that the respondents adjusted demands not only for the proposed assessment years but also for additional years, breaching principles of natural justice. The court noted the breach of natural justice and set aside the impugned order, allowing the concerned officer to proceed as per law.
Breach of principles of natural justice: The petitioner contended that there was a breach of principles of natural justice as the respondents deviated from the proposal communicated in emails regarding the adjustment of demands. The petitioner emphasized the short time given for response compared to the quick issuance of the impugned order. The court acknowledged the infraction of natural justice and decided to set aside the order, granting liberty to the concerned officer to proceed lawfully.
Stay of demand for assessment year 2022-23: The petitioner highlighted that the demand for assessment year 2022-23 had been stayed by the court in a previous order. Considering this, the court decided to set aside the impugned order dated 01.09.2023, allowing the concerned officer to take further steps in accordance with the law. The writ petition was disposed of with parties instructed to act based on the digitally signed copy of the order.
