ORDER
The order dated 18.06.2026 is assailed in this petition on the ground of breach of principles of natural justice.
2. On instructions, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner agrees to pay 10% of the disputed tax demand under the impugned order as a condition for remand. An endorsement to that effect has been made.
3. Ms.P.Sudarkodi Natchiyar, learned Government Advocate (Taxes), accepts notice for the respondent.
4. On perusal of the impugned order, it is evident that such order was issued without hearing the petitioner. In these circumstances, subject to the remittance of 10% of the tax demand under the impugned order within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the impugned order is set aside so as to provide an opportunity to the petitioner to contest the matter on merits. After providing a reasonable
WP(MD) No. 32076 of 2026 opportunity to the petitioner, a fresh order shall be issued within five (5) months from the date of remittance of 10% of the tax demand. Subject to fulfilment of this condition, the bank attachment, if any, relating to the impugned order shall be raised.
5. This Writ Petition stands disposed of on the above terms. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 11-11-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No apd To The State Tax Officer Vedasandur Assessment Circle Commercial Taxes Buildings Sub Collector Office Road Dindigul - 624001
