Writ petition filed before the passing of the final order is premature and not maintainable

Quick Summary
The Madras High Court has ruled that a writ petition filed by a taxpayer challenging a Show Cause Notice (SCN) before a final order is passed is premature and cannot be entertained. The court directed the Revenue Department to consider the taxpayer's reply to the SCN on its merits and decide accordingly. The case involved a taxpayer challenging an SCN for reversal of Input Tax Credit (ITC) due to alleged non-payment of taxes by the supplier, despite the taxpayer providing a detailed reply.
