CALCUTTA HIGH COURT [Binoy Kolay VS Senior Joint Commissioner, State Tax, Bally Circle]
The petitioner received an adjudication order for FY 2017-18 and appealed against it, but the appeal was rejected due to delay. Meanwhile, a second adjudication order was mistakenly issued. The Court quashed the duplicate order, recognized the appellate authority’s failure to exercise jurisdiction, condoned the delay, and directed a fresh appeal hearing on merit within twelve weeks.
