..... assessment requires to be re-done." 6. In paragraph No.8, this Court set aside the assessment orders impugned in these Writ Petitions. Thereafter, the respondent issued fresh pre-revision notices for these assessment years on 09.03.2021 while dropping the demand in so far as 19(2)(v) of the TNVAT Act in view of the decision of the learned Single Judge in Everest Industries Limited Vs. State of Tamil Nadu and another. 7. The petitioner filed a common objection which ultimately culminated in assessment orders dated 08.06.2021 for these assessment years.
