    The High Court at Calcutta (Port Blair Circuit Bench) dismissed 51 intra-court appeals challenging VAT assessment notices issued to hotels and restaurants in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The court upheld the Single Judge's decision directing transfer of pre-August 19, 2025 cases to an Appellate Tribunal under section 73 of the VAT Regulation 2017, finding an adequate alternative statutory remedy exists and the limitation period commenced only after regulatory procedures were implemented on March 31, 2021.
