Headnote | Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1948: ss.11, 21- Revisional authority issued show cause notice after 5-1/2 years - High Court set aside the same as time barred - On appeal, held: No limitation period for filing revision prescribed in the statute - Therefore, revisional authority is to exercise its jurisdiction within reasonable time - Authority did not assign any reason as to why notice was issued after long delay - High Court rightly held revisional order to be unsustainable.Constitution of India, 1950: Article 226 - Writ petition - Maintainability of, if question pertains to limitation - Held: Maintainable as question raised is a jurisdictional question.In respect of the assessment for the year ending 31.3.2000, the assessment proceedings were completed on the basis of the return filed by the appellant on 20.3.2001. Indisputably, in terms of s.11 of the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1948 three years has been prescribed as a period of limitation for completing assessment from the last date for filing of return.The revisional authority-cum-Assistant Excise and Taxation commissioner issued a notice dated 4.9.2006 to show cause as to why the proposed action under s.21(1) be not taken on the premise that "illegalities, irregularities and improprieties", as enumerated therein had been found in the order of assessment dated 20.3.2001. Cause was to be shown on 14.9.2006. Respondent neither appeared before the revisional authority nor filed any show cause. Instead assessee-respondent filed writ petition before the High Court. The High Court allowed the writ petition opining that the order of assessment having been passed on 20.3.2001 and as the same is sought to be revised by issuing notice dated 4.9.2006, without assigning any reason justifying exercise of revisional jurisdiction, the same was wholly unsustainable in law.In appeal to this Court, appellant contended that the High Court failed to take into consideration that no time limit has been fixed for exercise of suo mo to jurisdiction of the Revisional Authority and that as it was open to the respondent to raise all contentions before the Revisional Authority itself, and High Court ought not to have exercised its power of judicial review. |
