ISLAMABAD: Justice Aamer Farooq of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has reserved a decision on a customs matter filed by M/s Hasas Engineering and Construction Company (Private) Limited.
The appellant had challenged a recovery notice issued by commissioner Inland Revenue of Large Taxpayer’s Unit, Islamabad. The bench reserved decision after hearing arguments in the case with submission of record.
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 under the head of federal excise duty.
M/s Hasas Engineering and Construction Company had prayed the court that the FBR did not hold lawful grounds to issue the recovery notice.
The appellant had prayed the court to declare the act of the ATIR 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 departmental obligations were not met amid processing the notice of recovery demand while later the adjudication did not address grievances of the appellant.
