We note that the impugned order itself takes note of the various notices which had come to be issued to the writ petitioner post the disposal of the original writ petition on 15 December 2022. The details of the notices which were issued from time to time have been set out in a tabular form which is extracted hereinbelow: - "S. No.

4.
As we peruse the last notice of 26 December 2023, we find that the next date fixed by the Assessing Officer was of 28 December 2023. The petitioner who appears in person has failed to draw our attention to any request for oral hearing that may have been made in response to the said notice.
5.
In view of the aforesaid, we find no justification to invoke our extraordinary power conferred under Article 226 of the Constitution. 6.
Accordingly, while the writ petition fails and stands dismissed, we leave it open to the writ petitioner to adopt such appropriate remedies as may be available in law against the final orders of assessment which have been framed.

All rights and contentions of respective parties are kept open. YASHWANT VARMA, J.
