HC held that, State Tax Authority cannot prosecute assessee, when Central Tax Authority already initiated action in respect of same matter

Further, directed the Revenue Department to pass an order after adhering to the principles of natural justice, considering on merits and in accordance with law within a period of 12 weeks.
