THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P. DURGA PRASAD WRIT PETITION No. 14384 OF 2011 Date: 31-05-2011 Between National Agriculture Co-operative Marketing Federation of India Ltd., (NAFED), 5-10-193, Haca Bhavan, 2nd Floor, Opp: Public Gardens, Hyderabad, rep., by its Branch Manager Mr.S.A.A. Prakasa Raj …..Petitioner And The Commercial Tax Officer, Basheerbagh Circle, Abids, Hyderabad and two others …..Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P. DURGA PRASAD WRIT PETITION No. 14384 OF 2011 ORDER: (per Sri Ramesh Ranganathan, J) The order impugned in this writ petition is the revised assessment order passed by the assessing authority, dated 31-03-2011. The said order is questioned on several grounds including that it is a non-speaking order and it is completely bereft of reasons. Prima facie, the impugned order does not reflect consideration of any of the contentions raised by the petitioner and no reasons are assigned as to why the petitioner was held liable to pay the tax. When the matter was listed on 24-05-2011, this Court asked the learned Standing Counsel for Commercial Taxes to obtain instructions in the matter. Learned Standing Counsel would submit before us today that instead of keeping the writ petition pending, the order itself may be set aside for non-assignment of reasons, giving liberty to the assessing authority to pass an order afresh. In the light of the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel and as the impugned order is a non-speaking order and is bereft of reasons, we consider it appropriate to set aside the impugned order and direct the respondent – assessing authority to pass an order afresh, after considering the objections raised by the petitioner and in accordance with law. The writ petition stands disposed of. RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J P. DURGA PRASAD, J 31-05-2011 ks
