The Court held that brief delays in producing documents during transit do not constitute grounds for a Section 48(5) VAT penalty, setting aside the penalty imposed on the assessee.
The Court held that penalty proceedings issued six to nine years late under the repealed VAT law were unreasonable and without jurisdiction. It ruled that powers must be exercised within a reasonable timeframe and quashed all notices and orders.
The Court invalidated the assessment order after finding that it was issued within a week of notice and without meaningful opportunity of hearing.
The Allahabad High Court held that Section 29 reassessment applies only where turnover has escaped assessment. ITC claims already accepted in original assessments cannot trigger reassessment. Orders attempting to reverse ITC alone were declared without jurisdiction and invalid.
The Court held that penalty under Section 48(5) cannot be imposed based solely on suspicion without proof that the transaction was omitted from books. The order was set aside due to lack of evidence of intent to evade tax.
The Court held that cotton-filled khadi rajai falls under the taxable category at 14%, rejecting claims of exemption. The ruling confirms that exemption applies only to unfilled items.
SC ordered Department to comply with High Court directions and issue C-Forms and F-Forms after verification of indemnity bonds, leaving legal questions open for future cases.
Court held that penalty under Section 48(5) cannot rest on presumption and requires verification of account books, which authorities failed to conduct. All orders were set aside.
The dealer argued that all purchases supported by Form 38, Form C, and stock registers were properly recorded but overlooked by the Tribunal. The Court found that the assessment order itself accepted turnover and reflected no defects in the books. Because the Tribunal failed to address these grounds, the case was remanded.
The court held that a two-day delay caused by an online portal glitch could not justify rejection under a VAT Amnesty Scheme. The delay was condoned, and the rejection order was quashed.
