HC determined petitioner's case falls under "amount in arrears" category under SVLDRS, not "litigation" category, as no appeal was filed before 30.06.2019 against Order-in-original demanding Rs. 32,27,856/-. Designated committee's mechanical issuance of Form SVLDRS-3 without considering petitioner's reply demonstrated non-application of mind. Petitioner, having already deposited 60% of tax arrears (Rs. 31,32,551.60), is entitled to relief u/s 124 of SVLDRS. Court set aside committee's demand for higher amount and allowed petition, affirming petitioner's eligibility for reduced tax liability under scheme's provisions for arrears category.
