ORDER
01.09.2026
02.
1. Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2. It is submitted on behalf of the Petitioner that the vehicle bearing Regd. No. OR-22-7669 has already been scrapped since 20th October, 2022, and, therefore, the demand of tax for the period from 1st April, 2017 to 31st March, 2026, amounting to ₹40,890/-, is unsustainable.
3. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission, as agreed by the Petitioner to pay the tax amount within a period of 30 days from today, upon production of a certified copy of this order along with a copy of the Writ Petition. In such event, the Taxing Authority may consider the grievance of the Petitioner regarding waiver of penalty, subject to the Petitioner filing a show-cause in that regard within the aforesaid period.
