Absence of a provision, can’t be ground for declaring statute as arbitrary

July 6, 2012 2018 Views 0 comment Print

Larsen and Toubro Ltd. v. UOI There is no provision like section 4(7) of the Andhra Pradesh VAT Act in Delhi VAT Act. The entire case of the petitioner was that there should have been a provision like this in Delhi VAT Act as well, otherwise it is leading to various difficulties. Even if one presume that the provision like section 4(7) in Andhra Pradesh VAT Act makes it a better legislation in comparison with Delhi VAT Act but absence of such a provision, cannot be a ground for declaring statute as arbitrary or ultra vires. Bad legislative drafting, if at all, cannot furnish a ground for judicial review of the legislative action. It has to be shown that a particular provision is either beyond the legislative competence and is thus ultra vires or is unconstitutional viz. namely it offends some constitutional provision.

Taxability of BOT Contracts under Punjab VAT Act, 2005

July 5, 2012 3074 Views 0 comment Print

In today’s Global Economy BOT Contracts are playing vital role in the Development of infrastructure but there is no proper legislation and pronouncements which clarifies the status of taxability on these type of transactions. It is very disappointing to point out that tax authorities in their enthusiasm to generate more revenue are trying their level best to cover these types of transactions in the category of works contract whereas infact in my opinion these transactions are outside the purview of taxability under the works contract.
