ORDER

The applicant seeks recommendation to C.B.R. to pay him Rs.146,000 on account of loss caused to him by retaining his books of account for an unwarranted period.

Brief facts are that the applicant had earlier approached Wafaqi Mohtasib with the same request that was turned down. He approached the President thereafter for the same relief as prayed in this application. President's Secretariat directed C.B.R. to pay Rs.50,000 to the applicant on account of delayed return of books of accounts which has been paid.

The issue having been decided at the level of President, cannot be re‑considered at any forum. No further investigation is warranted. The file is closed under section 10(10) of the Establishment of the Office of Federal Tax Ombudsman Ordinance, 2000.

C.M.A./466/FTOOrder accordingly.
