THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.8203 of 2010 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ramesh Ranganathan) The garnishee notices issued by the 1st respondent to the 4th respondent is under challenge mainly on the ground that the petitioner had filed an application before the assessing authority under Rule 50 of the A.P. VAT Rules for rectification of the order passed by him earlier and, pending orders being passed, the action of the 1st respondent in issuing garnishee notice to the 4th respondent is illegal. In the counter affidavit filed by the 1st respondent, it is stated that a mistake had occurred in the consequential assessment order as the original files were with the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal; the records were subsequently verified and they realized the mistake; and the 1st respondent had rectified the same and had intimated the petitioner, vide letter dated 15.04.2010, of the correct demand. Since an order has been passed on the applications filed by the petitioners under Rule 50 of the A.P. VAT Rules, as early as on 15.04.2010, the cause in the Writ Petition does not necessitate adjudication. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed as infructuous. However, in the circumstances, without costs. ______________ V.V.S.RAO, J ___________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J 09.06.2011 MRKR
