The HC allowed the petition and quashed the impugned suspension insofar as it was effected without due investigation into alleged unauthorized changes based on forged documents, finding a violation of principles of natural justice. The Court directed the Joint Commissioner, State Taxes, to afford fresh opportunities to the parties to file responses and to be heard, and to pass an appropriate order after hearing, preferably within four months of receipt of a copy of the order.
