Quick Summary
An assessing officer issued an audit order in December 2021 for a dealer who passed away in 2018, having received the audit notice shortly before their death. The key question is whether this order is valid. Generally, such an order may be challengeable unless the legal representative(s) of the deceased were formally brought on record by the assessing officer, as per Section 159 of the relevant act.
