HC held that the tax assessment notices for 2016-17 and 2017-18 were invalid due to procedural non-compliance. The assessment under Section 40 of Assam VAT Act, 2003 was time-barred and lacked substantive legal basis, as the prescribed authority failed to establish 'reason to believe' and did not follow mandatory pre-assessment conditions. Consequently, the HC set aside the assessment orders and consequential demand notices, effectively rendering them legally unsustainable and providing relief to the petitioner.
