No. 15226 of 2010 is filed against the re-assessment orders dated February 16, 2009 pertaining to the assessment year 2001-02 as confirmed by the appellate authority by order dated March 24, 2010, W.P. No. 15227 of 2010 filed against the identical reassessment order for the assessment year 2003-04. As both the writ petitions are filed by the same partnership against identical orders pertaining to different assessment years for identical reliefs based on identical set of facts involving identical issues, both the writ petitions are disposed of by common order.
