N. Arumughan vs. The Assistant Commissioner
Held
The High Court directed the Appellate Tribunal to consider and dispose of the petitioner's application to revive and extend the interim stay within two weeks. Until the application is decided, all further proceedings pursuant to the original assessment order were deferred.
Facts
The petitioner challenged a 2011-12 assessment order, and after the first appeal was dismissed, filed a second appeal before the Kerala Value Added Tax Appellate Tribunal. An interim stay order was granted for six months but subsequently lapsed while the main appeal remained pending. Facing an arrear recovery notice, the petitioner filed an application to revive the interim stay.
Key Issues
Whether the Appellate Tribunal should be directed to expeditiously decide an application for revival/extension of an interim stay order, and if interim protection should be granted until such decision.
