https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=95001 An adjudication order dropping a duty demand continues to operate until it is set aside in competent proceedings, even if it is later alleged to suffer from want of jurisdiction. A voidable order is not treated as non-existent merely because it may be invalid; it remains effective for its ostensible purpose while it subsists. On that basis, a duty demand and penalty founded on the unchallenged or subsisting order could not be enforced against the assessee, and the contrary enforcement order was liable to be set aside. en-us Mon, 23 Oct 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 11:30:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=95001 An adjudication order dropping a duty demand continues to operate until it is set aside in competent proceedings, even if it is later alleged to suffer from want of jurisdiction.
