The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the<\/p>\n<p>impugned orders passed by the Assessing Authority have already<\/p>\n<p>been challenged by filing appeal before the Tribunal along with<\/p>\n<p>IAs for stay, wherein   Ext.P12 common order has been passed,<\/p>\n<p>whereby the petitioner has been directed to deposit &#8216;50%&#8217; of the<\/p>\n<p>demand pertaining to the       three assessment years 2005 -06,<\/p>\n<p>2006 -07 and 2007 &#8211; 08 and &#8216;25%&#8217; of the         demand relating to<\/p>\n<p>the penalty proceedings for the three years on or before<\/p>\n<p>30\/3\/2010 and to furnish security for the balance amount within<\/p>\n<p>4 weeks.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3. The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner has<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC NO. 11604\/2010               -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>already satisfied    a sum of Rs. 1,82,16,198\/- towards the<\/p>\n<p>assessment demanded vide their letter dated 21\/5\/2009.        It is<\/p>\n<p>stated that     as per    the original order, the total amount<\/p>\n<p>demanded for the three assessment years, inclusive of tax and<\/p>\n<p>interest was Rs.2,41,97,117\/-. 50% of the said demand works<\/p>\n<p>out to Rs.1,20,98,559\/-. This being the position, it is contended<\/p>\n<p>that there is an excess deposit in respect of the 50% of the<\/p>\n<p>demand and that the same could be given credit to in respect of<\/p>\n<p>the disputed &#8216;penalty&#8217; in satisfaction of the condition imposed by<\/p>\n<p>the Tribunal.    The petitioner preferred Ext.P13 representation<\/p>\n<p>in this regard, which was disposed of by the Assessing Authority<\/p>\n<p>as per Ext. P14, stating that the petitioner had to satisfy &#8216;50%&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>of the &#8216;balance amount&#8217; in respect of the assessment for three<\/p>\n<p>years and &#8216;25%&#8217; of the balance demand pertaining to &#8216;penalty&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>for the three years.\n<\/p>\n<p>       4. The learned Government Pleader submits that the stand<\/p>\n<p>taken by the petitioner is not correct or sustainable as it was not<\/p>\n<p>50%\/25% (as the case may be),            of the entire outstanding<\/p>\n<p>liability, but  50% \/ 25% of the &#8216;balance       amount&#8217; as clearly<\/p>\n<p>stated in the last paragraph of Ext.P12.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC NO. 11604\/2010               -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      5. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the<\/p>\n<p>basic point as to the issue involved was not properly considered<\/p>\n<p>by the Appellate Authority while passing the conditional order<\/p>\n<p>and if the merit was considered, absolutely no liability would<\/p>\n<p>have been there.\n<\/p>\n<p>      6.   The issue projected before the Tribunal, as discussed<\/p>\n<p>in the last   paragraph of Ext.P12, is whether the petitioner is<\/p>\n<p>entitled to the &#8216;input tax credit&#8217; for the purchase value of the<\/p>\n<p>goods which are later sold at a subsidized price. It is observed<\/p>\n<p>by the Tribunal that, this issue is to be decided in the light of the<\/p>\n<p>provisions contained in the &#8216;2nd proviso&#8217; to sub section Section<\/p>\n<p>(3) Section 11 of the Act. With regard to the appeals relating to<\/p>\n<p>the levy of penalty the issue is whether the penalty, is justified<\/p>\n<p>for non payment of interest.        Both these issues involve only<\/p>\n<p>questions of law and not a question of fact, which ought to have<\/p>\n<p>been considered by the Tribunal.\n<\/p>\n<p>       7. Taking note of the facts and circumstances,       the 4th<\/p>\n<p>respondent is directed to consider and pass final orders on Ext.P5<\/p>\n<p>to P10 appeals preferred by the petitioner in respect of the<\/p>\n<p>assessment orders regarding the fixation of liability as well as<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC NO. 11604\/2010                -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>penalty, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at<\/p>\n<p>any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of<\/p>\n<p>this judgment.      The petitioner will continue to enjoy the benefit<\/p>\n<p>of    the interim stay     granted vide Ext.P12,     subject to the<\/p>\n<p>condition that the petitioner satisfies &#8216;25%         of the balance<\/p>\n<p>liability&#8217; both in respect of the assessment as well as the penalty,<\/p>\n<p>simultaneously furnishing security for the balance amount, which<\/p>\n<p>shall be satisfied within a period of two weeks. Subject to this, all<\/p>\n<p>further recovery proceedings shall be kept in abeyance till the<\/p>\n<p>finalisation of the appeals as directed above.<\/p>\n<p>       The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                   P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON,<br \/>\n                                                    JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>\ndpk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Hindustan Petroleum Corporation &#8230; vs Assistant Commissioner Of &#8230; on 8 April, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 11604 of 2010(A) 1.
