Levy of penalty under Section 27(3)/27(4) of TNVAT Act - Any alleged admission before the Inspecting Authority cannot be put against the assessee because the Assessing Officer is an independent Authority, who will deal with the matter upon receipt of the report from the Inspecting Wing. Hence, it hardly matters as to what stand was taken by the assessee when the inspection was conducted. Accordingly, so far as the levy of penalty under Section 27(4) of the Act for the assessment year 2009-10 is concerned, the same cannot be sustained. - HC
