Ms System Care and Solutions v. The Assisteant Commissioner(St)

ORDER Both an order in original and the order rejecting the rectification application are assailed in this writ petition primarily on the ground of breach of principles of natural justice. The petitioner asserts that the order in original was issued without providing a personal hearing and without recording reasons in support of confirming the tax proposals.

¶2On instructions, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner agrees to remit 25% of the confirmed tax demand under the impugned order in original.

¶3On perusal of the impugned order, it appears that the petitioner's reply has been taken note of, but the petitioner was not heard before the tax proposals were confirmed. Solely in order to provide an opportunity for the petitioner to be heard, the order impugned herein warrants re-consideration subject to putting the petitioner on terms. Page3 of 4

¶4For reasons aforesaid, subject to the petitioner remitting 25% of the tax demand as per the impugned order in original within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the impugned order in original and the order in the rectification application are set aside and the matter is remanded for re-consideration. The petitioner is permitted to submit all material documents before the assessing officer, who shall pass a speaking order within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶5This writ petition is disposed of on the above terms. No costs. Consequently, the connected writ miscellaneous petitions are closed. 30-01-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order RNA To The Assistant commissioner(ST) Sholinganallur Assessment circle, Room No.218, II Floor, Integrated Building for commercial Taxes and Registration Department(South Tower), Nandanam, Chennai-600 035 Page4 of 4
