spb/ 20nma454-18.odt The accompanying Appeal was admitted on 25.06.2015. The affidavit in support of motion for fixing date for expeditious hearing states that as the amount of tax involved is huge i.e. Rs. 6,16,78,369/-, an out of turn hearing is required to be given.

Quantum of amount towards duty/tax involved without anything more, in our view, is not a sufficient reason for granting out of turn hearing. This is so, as normally in indirect tax matters, the tax/duty dispute involves large sums of money. Therefore, no reasons to grant the application. Accordingly, the Notice of Motion is dismissed.
