Case Law Details
Avon Udhyog Vs State of Rajasthan (Rajasthan High Court)
Suspension of a registration of an assessee has its own consequences – it brings the entire business of an assessee to a stand still. In a way it is worse than cancellation. Against cancellation, an assessee can take legal remedies but against suspension pending an enquiry, even if the assessee chooses to take remedies, the authorities or the Court(s) would normally show reluctance.
In the opinion of this Court, the proceedings of cancellation of registration cannot be kept hanging fire on any pretext, including that assessee failed to file reply within the time allowed. Authority issuing the notice is statutorily bound to pass order in terms of sub-rule (3) of Rule 22 of the Rules.
