Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.S.KRISHNA MURTHY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR COMMERCIAL TAX The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO And THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.Y.SOMAYAJULU WRIT PETITION NO.8174 of 2008 ORDER: (Per the Hon’ble Mr Justice B.Prakash Rao) Heard Sri S.Krishna Murty, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri K.Raji Reddy, learned Special Government Pleader for Commercial Tax for the respondents. At their request, the Writ Petition itself is taken up for disposal at the admission stage. The only grievance of the petitioner in this Writ Petition is against the action of the first respondent in not issuing certified copies of the assessment orders passed for the years 1998-99 and 1999-2000 under the APGST and CST Acts even though an application has been made as long back as on 20.07.2004. Having heard the learned counsel on either side and on perusal of the material available on record, we are of the view that having regard to the nature of the relief sought for, it is only for issuance of certified copies of the assessment orders and as such there cannot be any impediment or objection for such issuance. The Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to serve the certified copies of the assessment orders for the years 1998-99 and 1999-2000 within a period of four {4} weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is open for the respondents to raise any objection in regard to service of filing or the period of limitation in any appeal if they choose. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) __________________ (C.Y.SOMAYAJULU, J) 21st April 2008 RRB
