Tribunal order giving effect to HC opinion cannot amount to review of its earlier order

February 22, 2013 753 Views 0 comment Print

When the order was passed by the Tribunal on 09.10.2000, the Revenue had only remedy of seeking reference in terms of the then Section 35-G of the Act from the Tribunal. If the Tribunal does not refer the questions of law for the opinion of this Court, the aggrieved party could invoke jurisdiction of this Court under Section 35-H of the Act. It was in these terms, the jurisdiction of this Court was invoked by the Revenue against the order dated 09.10.2000 passed by the Tribunal. The opinion rendered by the High Court, on such reference sought by the Revenue, is binding on the authorities under the Act. The Tribunal is to give effect to the order passed by this Court. We find that the appellant has sought to confuse the provisions then existing and after amendment with effect from 14.5.2003 substituting Section 35-G by Section 144 of the Finance Act, 2003.
