Court Dismisses Petitions as Procedural Abuse; Directs Statutory Appeals with Pre-Deposit in Tax Assessment Dispute.

The HC dismissed the Writ Petitions, deeming them an abuse of court proceedings, as they were filed shortly after the assessment orders. The petitioner was instructed to file statutory appeals before the Appellate Authority within 30 days and make the necessary pre-deposit as per relevant Acts. The case was remitted to the respondent for issuing speaking orders, with the petitioner directed to provide relevant evidence. The Court emphasized the importance of procedural compliance and evidence submission, dismissing the petitions without costs and closing related Miscellaneous Petitions.
