Case Law Details
Priya Tiles and Interiors Vs Deputy State Tax Officer (madras High Court)
The case of Priya Tiles and Interiors vs Deputy State Tax Officer revolves around a writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution. The petitioner, Priya Tiles and Interiors, challenges an original tax order dated December 30, 2023, on the grounds of not being provided a fair opportunity to contest the tax demand on its merits.
The petitioner claims they were unable to respond to the show cause notice or participate in personal hearings due to various personal difficulties. They assert that the proceedings violated Rule 88C of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Rules. Despite these allegations, the petitioner has agreed to remit 10% of the disputed tax demand as a condition for the case to be remanded.
Mr. T. N. C. Kaushik, the learned Additional Government Pleader representing the respondent, points out that the impugned order was issued after a notice in Form ASMT-10 and a subsequent show cause notice. He further contends that Rule 88C is not applicable to this case.
