Facts of the Case
The petitioner challenged the issuance of a second SCN by the revenue authorities. It contended that it had already responded to the first SCN, and further contended that the issuance of a second SCN on the same issue was without jurisdiction.
The revenue authorities contended that the second SCN was issued due to discrepancies that remained after the first notice was responded to. They argued that the second SCN was necessary to clarify and further explain those discrepancies.
High Court Held
The court noted that the issuance of a second SCN did not cause any prejudice to the petitioner, especially since the petitioner had the opportunity to explain the discrepancies further. The court also noted that the second SCN was not issued arbitrarily, but to address additional discrepancies found in the petitioner’s returns hence the same is valid.
