Glass Point vs. State Tax Officer
Held
The High Court directed the 2nd respondent to consider and decide the petitioner's stay petitions within a period of two months. It further ordered that recovery proceedings pursuant to the demand notice be deferred until the stay petitions are disposed of.
Facts
The petitioner, a registered dealer under the Kerala Value Added Tax Act, challenged assessment orders for 2013-14 and 2014-15 by filing appeals along with stay petitions. Despite the pendency of these appeals, the respondents initiated recovery proceedings through a demand notice.
Key Issues
The key issue was whether recovery proceedings could be initiated while appeals and stay petitions against assessment orders were pending, and if the demand notice should be stayed until the appeals were decided.
