Telangana High Court orders tax reassessment and revenue service reforms

The Telangana High Court set aside a GST assessment order dated 11 March 2026, ruling that the Assessing Officer had violated earlier court directions by issuing a second show‑cause notice after remand. The court directed the officer to adjudicate the original notice following a personal hearing and to pass a fresh order in compliance with the law.

In a separate matter, the court directed the state Revenue Department to file an affidavit within four weeks detailing its standard operating procedures, service timelines and grievance redressal mechanisms for citizen services. It also ordered the department to submit a counter‑affidavit on the number of police vacancies and the status of recruitment notifications, responding to a public interest litigation alleging delays in police appointments.

Both rulings highlight the court's scrutiny of administrative procedures in Telangana, emphasizing the need for compliance with legal directives and transparency in public service delivery.
