The petitioner is a registered dealer under the erstwhile Tamil Nadu Value Added Tax Act, 2006 [in short 'TNVAT Act']. In respect of the year 2012-13 though the assessment has been completed as a deemed assessment under Section 22(2) of the said TNVAT Act, subsequently proceedings have been issued by the respondent/revenue stating that in so far as the availment of input tax credit in respect of a sale transaction, there was no voucher, i.e. the original voucher produced by the petitioner/assessee and without even the original voucher, since it cannot be claimed by the petitioner with regard to the said sale transaction for claiming Input T .....

However, it is the case of the petitioner that, the petitioner has traced the invoice and therefore, in that context only, application under Section 84 of the TNVAT Act for rectification since was made, the same should have been considered.
