Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, v. the Deputy Commissioner(Ct)
Case brief
What is this about?
This single-paragraph order by the Madras High Court disposed of a writ petition challenging the retrospective validity of a specific VAT provision. Relying on a 2016 Supreme Court precedent, the Court held the issue was not res integra and declared the petition's constitutional challenges as addressed by the higher court, thus disposing of the filing without further adjudication.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition is disposed of with no order as to costs. The petitioner's show cause notice filed in the underlying proceeding shall be considered by the authority.
