The Court found that the Petitioner had adequately demonstrated that the non-recovery of taxes was not due to his gross neglect, misfeasance, or breach of duty, as he had no control over KAPL's financial affairs. Additionally, the Court deemed the eight-year delay in initiating action as unreasonable, violating principles of natural justice. The rule was made absolute, with no order as to costs. en-us Mon, 12 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 25 Oct 2023 12:33:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=439311 The HC quashed the orders dated 18th March 2019 and 22nd December 2017, which held the Petitioner liable for taxes due from KAPL for Assessment Years 2008-09 and 2009-10.
