Somawanti vs State Of Punjab & Others on 7 November, 2011
In our view, the word
‘previously’ used in sub-Cl. (3), (a) of S. 105 can serve only one public
purpose. It is obviously intended to put the taxing authorities on notice of
such vacancy or prospective vacancy and alert them to make such
investigations as they may be inclined to make to test the truthfulness or

consolidated notice containing the information as to vacancy and unletting
coupled with the claim of remission would satisfy the requirement of Section
112 of the Act and it may not be open to reject the petitioner's claim only on the
premise that an independent notice under Section 105(3) of the Act intimating
the vacancy and unletting was not issued prior to the claim for remission. The
relevant portion of the above judgment is extracted hereunder:
