Facts of the Case

In the present case, the writ petition challenging the assessment order passed against the petitioner was filed. The petitioner’s contention was only that the petitioner was not issued a physical notice by the department and the electronic mode should not have been chosen.

High Court Held

The Honorable High Court noted that the appeal under Section 107 was not filed by the petitioner against the assessment order even within limitation period extended suo motu by Supreme Court due to COVID-19. The petitioner could not seek to approach High Court under Article 226 of Constitution of India to challenge assessment order especially with respect to computation of turnover and determination of taxable turnover and tax payable without availing statutory remedies available.

The Court further noted that the petition can’t be entertained when there was no jurisdictional error, violation of principles of natural justice or abuse of process of Court averred or argued by petitioner. Therefore, the Court dismissed the petition.
