Dated this the 20th day of January 2021 C.M.Appl.No.1/20 for condonation of delay in filing this review petition is allowed. The prayer in the application is that there is an error apparent on the face of record as the notices issued by the authorities were not under Section 25(1) for the assessment year 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 which though expired on 31.03.2014, 31.03.2015 and 31.03.2015, but, it was also under the provisions of Section 42(3) of the Kerala Value Added Tax Act. Therefore, the writ petition should not have been allowed by relying upon the ratio culled out in Baiju A.A and others v. State Tax Officer and others [2020(1) KHC 39]. I am afraid that the aforementioned argument would not have any force as this Court, in the judgment dated 23.10.2020 in W.P(C).28825/14 has already taken note of the provisions of Section 42(3) and allowed the matter having found both the notices, under Section 25(1) and section 42(3)not within the period of limitation. I do not find any error apparent on record in RP.No.957 OF 2020 IN WP(C). 2528/2020 3 view of the decision rendered in the aforesaid judgment. The review petition is accordingly dismissed.
