COMMON ORDER In these Writ Petitions, the petitioner has challenged the following impugned orders passed for the same tax period i.e., 2020-2021: W.P.Nos.
Date of impugned orders Nature of the impugned orders W.P.No.11701/2025 17.03.2025 Rectification Order W.P.No.11715/2025 29.11.2024 Assessment Order W.P.No.20380/2025 21.02.2025 Assessment Order W.P.No.20383/2025 27.02.2025 Assessment Order
2. In W.P.No.11715 of 2025, the petitioner has challenged the impugned Assessment Order dated 29.11.2024. Aggrieved the aforesaid Assessment Order dated 29.11.2024, the petitioner has filed an application for rectification on 25.02.2025, which came to be rejected by the Rectification rejection order dated 17.03.2025 which have been challenged in W.P.No.11701 of 2025.
3. The case of the petitioner is that the demand confirmed by the aforesaid order dated 29.11.2024 impugned in W.P.No.11715 of 2025 has been once again partly confirmed by the Assessment Orders dated 21.02.2025 and 27.02.2025 impugned in respective Writ Petitions in W.P.No.20380 of 4/7
2025 and W.P.No.20383 of 2025. Thus, it is submitted that these orders are arbitrary and therefore, liable to be interfered with.
4. The learned counsel for the respondent submits that the orders have been passed by different Authorities namely, the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer and Officers from the Intelligence Wing and hence, submits that appropriate orders may be passed.
5. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents.
6. Considering the fact that the demand covered by the respective impugned orders in these Writ Petitions pertains to the same assessment year and that the orders have been passed by two different Authorities exercising original Jurisdiction therefore to balance the interest of both parties, namely, the Assessee and the Revenue, the cases are remitted back to the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer to pass a fresh consolidated order in view of the Assessment orders dated 29.11.2024, 21.02.2025 & 27.02.2025 impugned in W.P.Nos.11715, 20380 & 20383 of 2025 respectively. 5/7
7. W.P.Nos.11715, 20380 & 20383 of 2025 stand disposed of with the above observations. No costs. Connected Writ Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
8. In view of the above, no further orders are required to be passed in W.P.No.11701 of 2025 and the same stands dismissed. No costs. Connected Writ Miscellaneous Petitions are closed. 05.02.2026 Index : Yes/No : Yes/No dna To:
