It is noticed that the petitioner has paid substantial amount of the tax already, as is evident from the documents that have been filed before this Court. Under similar circumstances, this Court has intervened and quashed the order impugned and had remitted back the case as the petitioners therein had not participated in the proceedings, which has culminated in the assessment orders. I find no reasons to take a different view of the matter. 3. Considering the same, the impugned order is quashed and the case is remitted back to the second respondent to pass fresh orders on merits and in accordance with law within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner shall file a reply within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order by treating the https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD).No.20102 of 2025 impugned order as addendum to the show cause notice that proceeded the impugned order. In case the petitioner fails to file a reply within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the respondents are at liberty to re-confirm the demand confirmed in the impugned order. 4. Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 24.07.2025 NCC : Yes / No Index : Yes / No Internet : Yes / No Lm To 1.The Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, O/o.
