The Madras High Court has set aside a customs order, finding a "verbatim reproduction of contents of an SCN" and "no independent reasoning." The court's decision, which is a significant victory for the company, was made on the grounds that the company's claim was not supported by evidence. The ruling clarifies that a tax authority can't add a tax to a company's account without a valid reason.
