Held

The body of the judgment containing the Court's decision is omitted from the provided text. Therefore, what the Court decided cannot be determined.

Facts

Multiple hotels and resorts filed writ petitions challenging assessment orders for the assessment year 2020-2021 and subsequent revenue recovery notices. The dispute appears to stem from the application of Government Order GO(MS) No. 41/2020 TD and SRO No. 297/2022 (G.O.(P) No. 26/2022/TAXES), which were likely based on a budget speech and cabinet decision.

Key Issues

The key legal issues, though not explicitly stated in the omitted judgment body, likely concern the legality and applicability of Government Orders and SROs leading to tax assessments and revenue recovery notices for the petitioners.
