ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) will resume the hearing of a case filed by M/s Dewan Cement Limited on Tuesday (today), challenging a recovery claim made by field office of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
The IHC bench comprising Justice Aamer Farooq will hear the matter. M/s Dewan Cement Limited had challenged a show cause notice issued by the Large Taxpayers Unit, Islamabad. The appellant prayed the court to declare the notice as illegal and without any lawful authority and an interim stay may be granted against recovery proceedings.
M/s Dewan Cement Limited submitted before the court that the impugned order was issued under mala fide intentions and had no legal standing or authority and the court may decide on relief which it deemed appropriate in this regard. It also stated that due legal course was not followed by the department in issuing the order.
M/s Dewan Cement Limited had also prayed the court to decide the case early as the appellant had to bear financial complications after the case.
The ATIR, Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), officers of LTU including Commissioner Inland Revenue, and others were made respondents in the case.
