In this case, the aforesaid principles cannot be made applicable, as the assessing authority has issued separate notices and separate orders - The mere fact that the orders were issued simultaneously, by itself cannot be a reason to interfere with the said order, so long as the petitioner was extended an opportunity to submit its objection in response to the separate notices issued – The writ petition is dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to invoke the statutory remedies if any, available
