Court Decision Summary The High Court at Calcutta (Port Blair Circuit Bench) dismissed 51 intra-court appeals filed by hotel and restaurant businesses challenging VAT assessment notices issued by the Andaman and Nicobar Islands administration. The court upheld the Single Judge's decision that an alternative statutory remedy exists through the newly constituted Appellate Tribunal under VAT Regulation section 73, making writ jurisdiction inappropriate; the court also rejected limitations and natural justice arguments, finding the procedural framework valid and assessments timely. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
