The petitioner accepted the demand and paid the amount in full. Despite this, the Tribunal remanded the entire demand to the adjudicating authority for fresh consideration. The petitioner contended that remand of the accepted and paid portion was unwarranted, as there remained no dispute requiring reconsideration. The matter was accordingly placed before the Calcutta High Court.<\/p>\n<h2><em>High Court Held<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The Calcutta High Court held that, since the petitioner had accepted the demand and already discharged the same, the question of remanding that portion of the demand for fresh consideration could not arise. The Tribunal\u2019s remand to the adjudicating authority was therefore set aside to the extent it pertained to the accepted and paid amount. The remand made by the Tribunal with respect to the remaining portion of the demand was affirmed.<\/p>\n<h2><em>List of Cases Reviewed<\/em><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centaxonline.com\/search?searchData=(2025)%2031%20Centax%20399%20(Tri.%20-%20Kol.)&amp;itemType=AP\">Emta Coal Ltd. v.
