Orders
Summary The High Court at Calcutta (Port Blair Circuit Bench) dismissed 51 appeals filed by hotels and businesses challenging VAT assessment notices issued by the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Commissioner. The court upheld the Single Judge's decision that since an alternative statutory remedy exists through the newly constituted Appellate Tribunal (notified August 2025), the High Court should not exercise writ jurisdiction; additionally, the appellants had already exhausted administrative remedies by filing objections before the Joint Commissioner. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
