    Summary: The High Court at Calcutta dismissed consolidated appeals against a Single Judge's order that transferred VAT-related writ petitions to an Appellate Tribunal. The court upheld the lower court's reasoning that an alternative statutory remedy existed under the VAT Regulation, and that limitation periods for assessment notices commenced only after procedural rules were notified in December 2020 and a grace period for filing returns expired in March 2021, making the notices timely and not barred by the four-year limitation prescribed under Section 34 of the Regulation.
