jdt.

19.03.2024 jb.

W.P.A. 25947 of 2022 (Goutam Kumar Sarangi vs. State of West Bengal & Ors.) Mr. Arabinda Chattopadhyay Ms. Kakali Dutta .... For the Petitioner Mr. Pantu Deb Roy Mr. Subrata Guha Biswas .... For the State Learned counsel for the State respondents has placed a letter issued by the Additional Secretary to the Government of West Bengal, Transport Department on 28th February, 2024 which records that the penalty calculated against the petitioner has been waived. The petitioner has been asked to submit tax and additional tax applicable to him within a stipulated time frame. An earlier instruction submitted on behalf of the respondents on 24th January, 2024 demonstrates a table showing calculation of tax and additional tax payable by the petitioner.

In view of the above, this Court is inclined to hold that nothing further remains to be adjudicated in the writ petition.

The petitioner is directed to pay tax and additional tax in terms of the calculation made by the

authority on 22nd January, 2024 as annexed to the instruction dated 24th January, 2024 within one month from date before the Taxing Officer, Public Vehicles Department being the 5th respondent herein.

The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Since no affidavit has been invited, allegations contained in the writ petition shall be deemed not to have been admitted.

Urgent certified website copy of the order, if applied for, be given to the parties on compliance of requisite formalities.
