..... of the pleadings contained in the writ petition, and a consideration of arguments advanced by Mr. J. Bora, learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner, would go to show that four grievances, in the main, have been projected by the writ petitioner as against the assessment order made by the primary authority as upheld by the revisional authority. Firstly it has been contended that the benefit of tax already deducted at source has been granted by the lower authorities only on the basis of treasury challans showing deposit of tax deducted at source into the Government Treasury and while considering the entitlement of the writ petitioner-assessee on the said account, several tax deductions certificates showing deduction of tax at sourc .....

..... the deposit made into the Government treasury of the tax deducted at source. The provision contained in the Rules requiring one copy of the challan to be transmitted to the assessing authority for completion of the assessment proceeding is a procedural provision and in view of the substantive provisions contained in section 27 of the Act of 1993, an assessee would be entitled to adjustment of taxes deducted at source upon production of the statutorily prescribed tax deduction certificate. The controversy on this count however, has become significant in view of the clear and categorical statement contained in the counter-affidavit of the State to the effect that as and when treasury challans are transmitted to the assessing officer by the t .....

Similarly, if the goods procured within the State have already suffered taxation under the Act of 1993 and such goods have been used for the execut .....

..... advanced on behalf of the writ petitioner is that the assessment made without adhering to rule 14(1)(b) would not be a valid assessment. This Court finds that the aforesaid projection made by the writ petitioner as regards the validity of the assessment order has been made for the first time in the present writ petition. The aforesaid projection not having been made before the primary authority and the order of assessment made by the said primary authority not having been challenged in the revision proceedings on the said basis, this Court sees no good ground to permit the writ petitioner-assessee to reopen the assessment made on the basis of the aforesaid question now raised. 7.. In view of the foregoing discussions, this writ petition i .....
