ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court, during a recent week of January, relisted the customs cases filed by M/s Lakson Tobacco Corporation Limited against the field office of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
The IHC Division Bench, comprising of Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Mian Gul Hassan Aurangzeb, heard the case and relisted it for hearing along with other cases.
M/s Lakson Tobacco Corporation Limited had named additional Collector Customs in its petition against the FBR.
Meanwhile, another bench dated in office the hearing on M/s Hasas Engineering and Construction Company Private Limited’s case. The appellant had challenged the act of recovery of said amount by Commissioner Inland Revenue of Large Taxpayers Unit Islamabad.
The ATIR was also made respondent in the case as the tribunal had upheld the departmental decision regarding the issuance of show cause notice and demand of recovery of outstanding tax amount under head of federal excise duty.
M/s Hasas Engineering and Construction Company Private Limited had prayed the court that the 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 the recovery proceedings.
M/s Hasas Engineering and Construction Company Private Limited had also mentioned that the departmental obligations were not met amid processing the notice of recovery demand while later the adjudication did not redress the grievances of the appellant.
