1.

GP FOR COMMERCIAL TAX The Court made the following Order: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice R. Raghunandan Rao)

The petitioner is a registered person, under the G.S.T. Act. The petitioner was served with an order of assessment, dated 21.04.2022, for the tax period, February – 2021, passed under Section 62 of the G.S.T. Act, on the ground that, the petitioner had not filed any returns for the said period.

2.

The petitioner has now approached this Court with the contention that, the respondents are seeking to recover the tax levied, under the said assessment order, along with interest & penalty, on the basis of the said assessment order. The petitioner further contends that, the said order has to be treated to have been deemed to have been withdrawn, on account of the fact that, the petitioner had subsequently filed his returns and had cleared all the dues payable, under the said returns.

3.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, would also contend that, the respondents had recovered all the tax dues and other amounts claimed, under the said assessment order, by attaching the account of a sister concern of the petitioner and also happens to be a supplier of the goods to the petitioner.

4.

In view of the fact that the petitioner has filed returns, it would have to be declared that the impugned order of assessment stands withdrawn, in terms of Section 62(2) of the G.S.T. Act. As far as recovery of tax, on the basis of the impugned order is concerned, the same shall abide by necessary proceedings that can be initiated by the petitioner.

5.

Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ R. RAGHUNANDAN RAO, J
