IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2882 of 2009 M/S JYOTHY LABORATORIES LTD. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 18-3-2009 It is the case of the writ petitioner that the assessment order for the year 2008-09 imposing tax liability is illegal. Question is what is the rate of tax to be paid by the petitioner on the product sold by it under the brand name Ujala. It is the contention of the petitioner that for another assessment order an appeal was filed before this Court and is pending. We are of the view that merely pendency of any appeal is no ground for quashing the impugned order of assessment. Apart from this, there is other statutory remedy of appeal available to the petitioner also. In the circumstances, this writ petition stands dismissed. Neyaz/- (J.B. Koshy, CJ.)
