Delhi HC quashes Notice and Order issued on wrong PAN

January 8, 2023 4323 Views 0 comment Print

A perusal of the instruction would show that PAN – AAACK4O32H concerns an entity going by the name K.G. Finvest Pvt. Ltd. This PAN does not concern M/s Kanhaiya Impex Pvt. Ltd. The petitioner’s stand that it had not entered into any transaction with M/s Kanhaiya Impex Pvt. Ltd. is correct. Given this position, in our view, both the notice which is issued under Section 148 A (b) of the Act and the order that was passed under Section 148 A (d) of the Act suffer from obvious errors.
