KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) has adjourned the hearing of a constitution petition filed by M/s M Nadeem Trading Company through its proprietor Nadeem Mushtaq, seeking restoration of his sales tax registration.
The hearing was fixed before a two-member bench, comprising Justice Munib Akhter and Justice Abdul Malik Gaddi, but due to shortage of time, the court adjourned the hearing for the date which will be decided by the court staff.
In the last hearing, the counsel for the respondents’ department had requested for some time to submit para-wise comments.
Earlier, the petitioner’s counsel stated that petitioner is filing his returns through e-filing of income tax and sales tax returns. However, petitioner was informed that his sales tax registration has been suspended on May 11, 2016 by officials of the tax authorities.
Citing FBR chairman, Inland Revenue commissioner & incharge of Investigation and Prosecution as the respondents, the petitioner pleaded the SHC to set aside impugned order of the respondents and restore its sales tax registration.
