ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday reserved a decision of customs matter filed by Collectorate of Customs, Islamabad and dated in office the hearing of another customs case submitted by M/s Hasas Engineering and Construction Company (Private) Limited.
MCC had filed this case against M/s Al Haj Enterprises. The bench had earlier directed the counsels to submit the related record prior to the next date of hearing. A single bench of the IHC comprising Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani heard the case.
The same bench also issued notices to the parties to assist the court on the matter of M/s Hasas Engineering and Construction Company (Private) Limited.
The appellant had challenged the act of recovery of said amount by Commissioner Inland Revenue of Large Taxpayers Unit, Islamabad.
ATIR was also made respondent in the case as the tribunal had sustained departmental decision regarding issuance of show cause notice and demand of recovery of outstanding tax amount in head of federal excise duty (FED).
M/s Hasas Engineering and Construction Company Private Limited had prayed the court that FBR office had issued a recovery notice to the company which did not hold lawful grounds.
The appellant had prayed the court to declare the act as illegal and without any lawful authority and an interim stay may be granted against recovery proceedings.
M/s Hasas Engineering and Construction Company Private Limited had also mentioned that departmental obligations were not met amid processing the notice of recovery demand while later the adjudication did not address grievances of the appellant.
