"These petitions have been filed by the petitioners/ appellants to grant extension of time to comply with the orders dated.29.03.2021 passed by this Court in W.A.(MD)Nos.613 to 615 of 2021. The appeals were filed by the appellants challenging the order of payment of tax passed by the Single Bench. This Court while dismissing the appeals granted extension of time enabling the appellants to comply with the orders passed by the Single Bench in the Writ petitions. However, the appellants did not comply with the order within the extended time. Subsequently, they have remitted those amounts only on 06.10.2021. Since the 2/4

appellants failed to remit the amounts within the time as ordered by the Single Bench and as extended by the Division Bench, the Respondent did not proceed with the remand order passed by the Single Bench. Therefore, the appellants have filed the present petitions for further extension of time since they could not pay the amount within the time as extended by this Court.

2. According to the petitioners/ appellants, they have remitted the amount on 06.10.2021. The learned Government Advocate appearing for the Respondent has also accepted that the amount was remitted to them. 3.The reasons stated for non-remissions of amount within the time as ordered by the Single Bench and as extended by the Division Bench are satisfactory. Hence, the present applications are ordered and the delay in paying the amount is condoned. The respondent is directed to comply with the order of the Single Bench dated.08.12.2020 which reads that 'the impugned assessment orders dated.31.10.2020 shall stand quashed and the matter remanded back to the respondent for fresh consideration and the respondent shall pass final orders on merits and in accordance with law, after affording sufficient opportunity to the petitioners/ appellants to raise all objections available to them under law and also 3/4

afford them the right of personal hearing'. The said order shall be complied by the respondent within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order."
