He accordingly recomputed the refundable amount and it was shown at ₹ 1,69,99,893/-. Aggrieved by this order, the petitioner filed a revision under Section 264 of the Act before the 1st respondent. The revision was rejected through order, dated 21.08.2000. Sri Y.Ratnakar, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the 2nd respondent was entitled to invoke his jurisdiction under the provisions of the Act, if only there existed any error apparent on the face of the record and that it was not even alleged that such an error exists in any orders passed by him earlier .....

Admittedly, no such notice was issued. Though this ground was not specifically pleaded, we cannot ignore such a serious lapse, which crept into the proceedings. We are of the view that the exercise can be redone by the 2nd respondent after issuing notice, only on the limited aspect of the interest, payable under Section 244-A of the Act. Hence, we allow the writ petition and set aside the order, dated 26.05.1999 passed by the 2nd respondent as affirmed by the 1st respondent in his order, dated 21.08.2000. It is left open to the 2nd respondent to pass fresh order, after issuing notice to the petitioner. The assessment proceedings for ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
