THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No. 25645 of 2011. ORDER: (Per Goda Raghuram, J). The order of assessment dt. 5.8.2011 passed in Form 304 of the A.P. VAT Act, 2005 for the tax period 2008-09 to 2011-12 is assailed on several grounds including that the 3rd respondent passed the order of assessment pursuant to a composite authorisation for conducting both audit and assessment. Reliance is placed on the decision of a learned Division Bench of this Court in W.P.No. 16952 of 2011 and batch dt. 14.7.2011. It is fairly conceded by the learned Special Government Pleader for Commercial Taxes that the impugned assessment order dt. 5.8.2011 passed by the 3rd respondent cannot be sustained in view of the law declared by this Court in the decision cited supra. Recording the submission, the writ petition is allowed. The order of assessment dt. 5.8.2011 is set aside. It is however open to the competent and duly authorised assessing authority to pass a fresh order of assessment, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J ____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J 21.09.2011. KRB.
