HC held that the appeal had been rejected on limitation, though partial tax liability was admitted. Total tax demand was Rs. 9,99,558/-, of which the petitioner had accepted Rs. 3,65,918/- but deposited only Rs. 99,956/-. HC directed the petitioner to deposit the balance admitted tax of Rs. 2,65,962/- within 30 days, and additionally to deposit Rs. 1,58,410/-, being 25% of the disputed tax of Rs. 6,33,640/-, from the petitioner's Electronic Cash Register within the same period. On such compliance, the 1st respondent/Appellate Authority was mandated to entertain the appeal and decide it on merits, without rejecting it on the ground of limitation. The petition was disposed of with these directions.
