A. K. Roy & Anr vs Voltas Limited on 1 December, 1972
From what has been stated hereinabove, it appears to us that none of the points urged by Mr. Mukherjee can be sustained and although this court in exercising its discretionary powers in the writ constitutional jurisdiction does not sit in appeal over the impugned orders of assessments, this court can in our opinion, quash the impugned assessments made in violation of law as laid down in the Voltas case and Atic's case. In our opinion, the impugned decisions or orders of assessments made between 1961 and the date of application were nullities and not real determination because in making the said impugned orders the respondent took into consideration the factors, that is to say, the sums in excess of manufacturing cost and manufacturing profit which the deciding officer had no jurisdiction to do."
