Mrf Limited vs. State Of Kerala
Held
The High Court directed the respondents to consider the petitioner's rectification petitions under Rule 6(9) of the CST (Kerala) Rules, 1957 within one month. It further ordered that recovery proceedings pursuant to the assessment orders shall be kept in abeyance until orders are passed on these rectification petitions.
Facts
MRF Limited challenged assessment orders issued by the Deputy Commissioner of State Tax for the years 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15, alleging they were contrary to a binding Division Bench judgment. The petitioner sought to keep impending recovery proceedings in abeyance pending the disposal of rectification petitions filed under Rule 6(9) of the CST (Kerala) Rules, 1957.
Key Issues
Whether recovery proceedings should be stayed pending the disposal of rectification petitions, especially when the assessment orders are contended to be contrary to a binding High Court judgment and without considering relevant documents.
