    CASE SUMMARY: WPC/5716/2018 - Electrosteel Castings Limited v. State of Jharkhand The High Court of Jharkhand dismissed Electrosteel Castings Limited's writ petition challenging VAT assessment orders for assessment year 2009-10. The court held that the petitioner had no valid grounds to challenge the Tribunal's dismissal of revision petition DN 14/2014 (as it was directed against a remand order, making it non-maintainable) or DN 13/2014 (which was dismissed on merits after examining concurrent findings of lower authorities). The court further rejected the petitioner's review petition, finding no apparent error on record—particularly criticizing the company for belatedly introducing a Ministry of Coal letter never previously raised and for breaching coal lease conditions without ever seeking judicial remedy. The court concluded the petitioner was deliberately instituting multiple proceedings to indefinitely delay tax payment assessment. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
