ORDER: (Per Goda Raghuram, J) It is the synoptic submission of the learned Counsel for fhe petitioner and the learned Special Government Pleader for Commercial Taxes that the impugned order of assessment dt. 31.3.2010 passed by the 1st respondent for the period November 2007 to February 2008 under the A.P. VAT Act, 2005 is unsustainable since the 1st respondent was not duly authorised to pass the order of assessment as required under Rule 59 (4) of the A.P. VAT Rules, 2005 and in the light of the decision of this Court in Sri Balaji Flour Mills, vs. Commercial Tax Officer-II, Chittoor [(2011) 40 VST 150]. In the facts and circumstances, the writ petition is allowed and the assessment order dt. 31.3.2010 passed by the 1st respondent is quashed.
