Facts of the Case

Supreme Court Held

The Supreme Court noted that while entertaining the writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challenging the Assessment Order denying the Input rebate, the High Court has observed that there are no disputed question of facts arise and it is a question to be decided on admitted facts for which no dispute or enquiry into factual aspects of the matter is called for.

The aforesaid can hardly be a good/valid ground to entertain the writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challenging the Assessment Order against which a statutory remedy of appeal was available. Therefore, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal and it was held that the High Court ought not to have entertained the writ petition and the assessee was relegated to prefer an appeal before the appellate authority.
