THE HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN AND THE HON'BLE SMT JUSTICE T.RAJANI Writ Petition No.20451 of 2017 ORDER: (Per the Hon'ble the Acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan) Heard Sri P.Girish Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri S.Suri Babu, learned Special Standing Counsel for Commercial Taxes and, with their consent, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission.

Sri P.Girish Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner, states that the assessment order passed by the assessing authority on 28.01.2017 was set aside by this Court in its order in W.P.No.5515 of 2017 dated 08.03.2017.

As the assessment order itself has been set aside, the consequential penalty order dated 13.03.2017 must also be, and is accordingly, set aside. Needless to state that this order shall not preclude the assessing authority, after passing a fresh assessment order, and if need be, to initiate penalty proceedings afresh in accordance with law.

The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. Miscellaneous Petitions pending, if any, shall also stand disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
