The Madras High Court quashed a best-judgment assessment order that was passed due to non-submission of documents. However, the court conditioned its relief on a 15 % pre-deposit of the disputed tax to safeguard revenue. The ruling reinforces principles of natural justice and highlights the need for opportunity and fairness before issuing such orders. (TaxGuru)
