Summary The High Court dismissed 51 consolidated appeals challenging VAT assessments issued by the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Commissioner, holding that an adequate alternative statutory remedy exists through the newly-constituted Appellate Tribunal (established August 2025) and therefore the High Court should not exercise writ jurisdiction. The court transferred pre-August 2025 cases to the Tribunal without requiring pre-deposit, while dismissing post-August 2025 cases with liberty to approach the Tribunal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
