M/S v.R.Muthu and Bros v. the State Tax OFFICER-1
Case brief
What is this about?
This bench dismissed collective writ petitions assailing four revisional tax assessment orders under the TN VAT Act. Relying on the principle of alternate statutory remedy and citing binding Supreme Court precedents, the Court held that despite procedural grievances regarding notice service and consideration of objections, the petitioners must exhaust the statutory appeal route under Section 51.
What did the court decide?
All four writ petitions and related writ miscellaneous petitions were dismissed without order as to costs, with liberty to appeal under statutory provisions.
