With the consent of the learned counsels appearing for the parties concerned, the Writ Petitions are taken up for final hearing and disposal. 4. The petitioner has challenged the impugned proceedings of the respondent in CST No.447051/88-89, dated 3. 2006, CST No.447051/89-90 dated 3. 2007 and TNGST No.747237/88-89, dated 3. 2006, in W.P.Nos.28874/2007, 28875/2007 and 28876/2007, respectively. The main reason for the respondent to pass the impugned orders, rejecting the request of the petitioner, to revise the assessment as represented in the petitioners letter, dated 111. 2005, is stated to be the belated filing of Form ‘C declarations and Form XVII declarations by the petitioner. 5. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner had submitted that there was no delay in filing the Form ‘C declarations as it was filed, on 15. 1993. Due to certain defects, the ‘C Form declarations were returned to the petitioner by the authority concerned and the same was represented by the petitioner on 15. 1994. Therefore, the learned counsel for the petitioner had contended that the reasons stated by the respondent is not sustainable, as there was no delay in filing the Form ‘C declarations and Form XVII declarations by the petitioner. Therefore, the impugned proceedings of the respondent, dated 3. 2006, are illegal and invalid. 6.
