P.M. Paul vs. The State Tax Officer
Held
The Joint Commissioner (Appeals) and the Single Judge rejected the appellant's request to restore the appeal. The High Court Division Bench upheld this decision, finding no grounds to interfere as the rejection was based on available and correct reasons related to the scheme's conditions.
Facts
The appellant initially withdrew an appeal to avail the benefits of an Amnesty scheme. However, the appellant subsequently failed to comply with the terms and conditions of the said Amnesty scheme. Consequently, the appellant sought to restore the original appeal that had been withdrawn.
Key Issues
Can an appeal, once withdrawn to avail an Amnesty scheme, be restored if the appellant fails to comply with the terms of that scheme?
