2016 (1) TMI 954 - HC - VAT and Sales TaxMaintenance of records for 5 years - The five year period to be reckoned from the last day of the financial year concerned or not - Revision proceedings - Rate of tax on zinc oxide - 10% or 4% - In order to set right these mistakes, a revision was proposed. That was to revise the assessment order under section 57 of the BST Act. That is how Notice in Form 40 was issued and served upon the dealer on 7th December, 1998, calling upon him to remain present on 28th December, 1998. However, on that date the dealer did not remain present. That is why the matter was adjourned. On 6th December, 2000, in the absence of the dealer and his representative, the file was closed and the subject order dated 7th December, 2000, came to be passed. Held that:- This is not a case where any order to the prejudice of the applicant-dealer has been passed because of non availability or non production of the records. The Second Appellate Order initially passed on 23rd June, 2010, recites the facts. The Revisional Authority passed the order ex-parte on scrutiny of the case records underlying the assessment order dated 30th November, 1995. Thus, the records before the Assessing Authority were taken into consideration. The dealer was called upon on the basis thereof to satisfy the Revisional Authority as to why the assessment order should not be revised. There was absolutely no prejudice, therefore, to the dealer and he could have, on the basis of the order of assessment, opposed the exercise of the Revisional power. - Decided against the assessee.
