           Dated this the 8th day of October, 2009


                        J U D G M E N T

———————-

1. Grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent is

not implementing the directions contained in Ext.P1 order of the

Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal with respect to assessment

pertaining to the year 2002-03. Through Ext.P1 order the

Tribunal had allowed the second appeal and the matter was

remanded for passing modified order with specific direction to

delete the additions made in the original order of assessment.

According to the petitioner if the directions contained in Ext.P1

appellate order is given effect, the petitioner will be entitled for

refund/adjustment of considerable amounts.

2. Heard learned Government Pleader for the

respondent, who submitted that there is no impediment in

issuing modified order if Ext.P1 order had attained finality. It is

noticed that Ext.P1 order is issued as early as in May 2008.

Hence I am of the opinion that the modified order of assessment

need be issued within a reasonable time.

3. In the result the writ petition is disposed of directing

the respondent to pass modified orders pursuant to Ext.P1

W.P.(C).28262/09-C 2

appellate order, if it has become final, as early as possible, at any

rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a

copy of this judgment.

C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE.
