Petitioner's liability for unpaid tax and wrongly availed input tax credit was upheld because notices and hearings were served through its chartered accountant who acted as its agent; acts of the agent bound the principal, and petitioner's failure to respond justified demand orders.

Writ petition dismissed for lack of merit.
