The liberty follows the live procedural route
The source identifies no assessment year, penalty section or appellate result. It preserves pursuit of the pending remedy, without condoning delay or staying recovery. The separately numbered Dwivedi writs 1167/2023 and 1253/2023 must remain distinct; this record is WRIT TAX No. 1253 of 2023, notwithstanding the similar captions and text.
