The jurisdictional vat officer has issued notice to pay the penalty of Rs.5000/- for delay in filing the audit report and also penalty of Rs.50/- per day to the date of filing for the said offence.Is it not double punishment for the same offence. The penalty provisions are different in the Act.Can we file a writ petition in the High Court against this provision.
