2018 (4) TMI 1645 - HC - VAT and Sales Tax


Issues:
Challenge of dismissal of application for stay of penalty collection under Andhra Pradesh Value Added Tax Act, 2005.

Analysis:
The judgment pertains to a writ petition filed by a Dealer under the Andhra Pradesh Value Added Tax Act, 2005, challenging the dismissal of an application for a stay of penalty collection. The petitioner had already filed a second appeal and paid 50% of the disputed tax and penalty. The court had previously granted a stay for the remaining 50% of the tax amount. However, the issue at hand was the conditional order for the grant of stay concerning the penalty.

During the hearing, it was argued that since the court had already granted a stay for the balance 50% of the disputed tax, no condition needed to be imposed regarding the penalty. The petitioner had already paid 50% of the penalty and was in the process of a second appeal. Consequently, the court allowed the writ petition and granted an interim stay on the collection of the remaining penalty amount until the second appeal's disposal.

The judgment further directed that any pending miscellaneous petitions would stand dismissed, and no specific order was given regarding costs. The decision was made to ensure that the petitioner was not unfairly burdened by the penalty collection process while the second appeal was ongoing.
