Bombay High Court held in the case of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation Vs Commissioner of Central Service that While deciding an application for stay of demand, the Appellate Tribunal can only consider the prima facie case of merits. It cannot give a final finding on the merits and decide the appeal itself

On the contrary, the case of the assessee, which was negated by the assessing officer of carrying on the business of draft discounting, is accepted by the Tribunal. Explanation 1 to section 271(1)(c) of the Act, in the facts and circumstances of the present case, would not arise.

The High Court held that the power to enact a validation law is an essential legislative power that can be exercised, in the context of the Act, only by the Parliament and not by the executive. If done so it would be ultra vires the Act and Article 141 read with Article 144 and 265 of the Constitution. Thus, in context of the amendment to Section 145(2) the High Court held that ICDS are not meant to overrule the provisions of the Act, the Rules thereunder and the judicial precedents.
