23 September 2009 I have received a notice for an appeal/review filed by me against the Assessment Order for the year 1980-81 passed by AA/Ward ____and has requested me to appear before him tomorrow. I do not remember anything about such appeal/review filed by me. The firm surrendered its certificate on July'2001.
The notice mentions Ex-parte judgement on default of non- appearance

Notice is dated 17/09/2009 and served on 23/09/09 for hearing before JC on 24/09/09.

Is the notice legally valid even after 30 years.

What can I do?

24 September 2009 Since you had filed an appeal against the ward , i think the commissioner appeals has to complete within a stipulated time period ( atleast now , not sure what was the position in 1980) , if the commissioner has not completed within the stipulated time period , i dont think its your headache .

Even exparte judgement has to be delivered in time .I dont think so exparte appeal can be passed after 30 years ( not sure about the position in 1980)

Since the notice is served on you , (the firm being not in existence anymore ) , just attend tomorrow and see what the commissioner has to say . lets discuss this later after a few more insights
