Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Calcutta High Court's order dismissing a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, challenging the West Bengal Taxation Tribunal's decision regarding the refund of entry tax and the release of seized documents. The Court found that the High Court failed to address the substantive issues raised by the appellants and summarily dismissed the case without proper consideration. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration, with no opinion expressed on the merits of the case.
