An assessment order must bear a signature, and an unsigned order is invalid. The High Court also recognised practical difficulties in accessing orders uploaded on the portal and held that delay in invoking writ jurisdiction can be overlooked where the assessment suffers from a patent irregularity, while balancing taxpayer hardship against revenue protection.
