    Case Summary: WP(C)/6116/2023 Petitioner: M/S Samim Akhter Choudhury (proprietorship firm) Respondents: State of Assam, Forest Department, Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL), and others Issue: Petitioner challenged deduction of forest royalty from running account bills, arguing double taxation since the minor minerals were already purchased from suppliers who had paid royalty. Order (06.05.2026): Case adjourned. Court directed the Forest Department (PCCF) to establish a mechanism to determine when forest royalty deductions are required, acknowledging forest royalty as a one-time imposition. Court also directed the Forest Department to submit an affidavit proposing a modality involving the Forest Department in verification processes, aligned with the Assam Ease of Doing Business Act, 2016. Matter listed for further hearing on 19.06.2026. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
