P.V.Rajan vs Fast Track Team No.Iv on 19 March, 2009
2. In Ext.P3, it is stated that the assessee has reported a
total turnover of Rs.7,59,540/=. The taxable turnover is also
fixed at the same figure. Petitioner is called upon to pay tax in a
sum of Rs.29,652/= which includes additional sales tax also. I
find in Ext.P3, at the top of the page, the amount is shown as
Rs.1,59,819/= and thereafter, the taxable turnover was fixed as
Rs.7,59,549/=. According to petitioner, petitioner has filed
Ext.P2 return as per which the total turnover for the year is
Rs.1,59,819/= which is below the assessable limit. Admittedly,
there is no pre-assessment notice. It is contended that there is no
scope for deviating from the returned figures and estimation of
WPC.7997/09 T 2
turnover. It is contrary to the Circular No.17/07 as also the
decision of this court in Viani Papers v. Fast Track Team (2008
(2) KLT 511). In such circumstances, I am constrained to
quash Ext.P3. The assessment will be completed after issuing a
proper pre-assessment notice to the petitioner in accordance with
law within a period of two months from the date of production
of a copy of this Judgment.
