Case Facts:
The petitioner challenged an order dated 26.12.2025 confirming tax liability for FY 2018–19.
The show cause notice proposed a demand of Rs.1.37 crore, whereas the final order confirmed Rs.2.41 crore.
The petitioner contended that the order exceeded the scope of the show cause notice.

The impugned order was set aside and the matter was remitted back to the authority for fresh consideration.
The petitioner was directed to file a reply within 30 days and the authority was directed to pass a fresh order after granting opportunity.
