By dismissing the petitioner's second revision petition, the first respondent has affirmed the order passed by the Deputy Commissioner, dated 03.11.2004, by which the Deputy Commissioner remanded the matter back to the Assessing Officer for fresh disposal to levy the penal interest under Section 24(3) on the basis of the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court. 4. The case has had a chequered history commencing with a revision notice issued by the third respondent, dated 13.03.2000, for the assessment year 1993-94, alleging that the petitioner has not rep .....

Though Section 14 speaks of re-assessment still there is an embargo on the part of the Assessing Officer to invoke Section 14 of the TNGST Act and obviously such power could not have been invoked in the instant case. 10.
