ORDER

The present writ petition had been filed in the nature of Certiorarified Mandamus, challenging the proceedings in TIN 33835800332/2014-15 dated 13.03.2017.

2.The common question that arises for consideration in this Writ Petition relates to interpretation of the amendment made to Section 19(2)(v) and the insertion of the proviso to Section 19(2) vide amendment Act No.28 of 2013 and its subsequent omission vide amendment Act No.5 of 2015. The scope and ambit of the above amendments stand resolved by the Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.1260 of 2017, dated 31.03.2022. An attempt was made to suggest that the State intends to file an appeal against the above order of the Division Bench, similar submission made has been considered and the following orders were passed in W.A.No.812 of 2019 dated 08.09.2022.

3. Though there is a request for adjournment stating that the State is proposing to file an appeal, we are inclined to dismiss this writ appeal considering the fact that the issues are now covered against the State. However, we leave it open to the State to work out their remedy before the Hon'ble Supreme Court along with other cases where an order has been passed as referred to supra.
