The petitioner is aggrieved of Ext. P6 notice issued by the
first respondent, whereby additional security has been
demanded to an extent of Rs. Twenty lakhs, which according to
the petitioner is contrary to the stipulation in the Circular
No.52/2007 and the terms of the statute.
2. The first respondent has filed a statement, wherein the
reason for issuing Ext. P6 has been sought to be sustained
referring to the magnitude of the transaction involved and the
chance for evasion of tax.
3. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the
petitioner will be satisfied if the first respondent is directed to
consider Ext. P7 representation preferred by the petitioner for
redressal of his grievances.
4. After considering the facts and circumstances, the first
