M/S. Amma Woods Private LTD. vs. The Deputy Commissioner
Held
The High Court directed the second respondent to consider and dispose of the petitioner's Ext.P4 request for revision of its annual return within three months from the date of receipt of the judgment, after affording the petitioner an opportunity of being heard, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the request.
Facts
M/s. Amma Woods Private Ltd., an assessee under the KVAT Act, filed its annual return for 2014-15. After noticing mistakes, the petitioner submitted a request (Ext.P4) on June 29, 2015, to the second respondent for revision of the return, which remained unconsidered for several years.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was the failure of the tax authorities to consider and dispose of the petitioner's long-pending request for revision of its annual return filed under the KVAT Act for the assessment year 2014-15.
