THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR W.P.Nos. 9540, 9546, 9570 and 9571 of 2010. COMMON ORDER: (Per Goda Raghuram, J) The assessment orders passed by the Commercial Tax Officer, Panjagutta Division for several assessment periods impugned in the respective writ petitions are challenged inter alia on the ground that the said authority was not duly authorised to pass the orders of assessment. Reliance is placed on the decision of a learned Division Bench of this Court in Sri Balaji Flour Mills. Vs. Commercial Tax Officer-II, Chittoor [ (2011) 40 VST 150]. The factual position that the authority who passed the impugned assessment orders was not duly authorised to do so is fairly conceded by the Revenue represented by Sri.Balaji Varma. In the light of the judgement cited supra, the assessment orders therefore cannot be sustained and are accordingly quashed. It is however open to the duly authorised officer to pass fresh orders of assessment, after following the due process of law and in accordance with law. The writ petitions are allowed as above. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J ________________________ N.RAVI SHANKAR, J 20.10.2011. KRB.
