ORDER1. This appeal is preferred by the plaintiff being aggrieved by the judgment and decree dated 26th October, 1984 in O.S.No.191/82 so far as the decree relates to scaling down of the interest on the loan amount.2. The learned Counsel appearing for the appellant contended that eventhough the loan was advanced for agricultural purposes, but in view of Section 21A of the Banking Laws (Amendment) Act, 1983 such a scaling down is not permissible.

He further submitted that the Court below has erred in relying upon the judgment of a Division Bench of mis Court reported in Indian Bank Alamuru v.

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Mar-26-1998

Reported in: [1998]111STC144(AP)

ORDERP. Venkatarama Reddi, J.1. Heard both the learned counsel at the stage of admission.2. The provisional assessment orders dated March 20, 1998 passed for the assessment years 1995-96 and 1996-97 are being challenged in this writ petition.3. It is surprising why the provisional assessment has been resorted to long after the expiry of relevant assessment years. Another extraordinary step taken by the assessing officer is that having waited for two years to make such assessment, he restricts the tune for payment to seven days as against the normal time of 30 days allowed by the Rules. Even before the expiry of appeal time, the respondent concerned acted overzealously and in unseemly haste to collect the tax, more so when a substantial question needs to be decided in appeal. The orders of this nature undoubtedly undermine the confidence of the tax-payers in the administration of tax law and gives rise to an undesirable impression that the department is following the principle of end ju...
