In Brief
VST Industries Limited challenged a Division Bench order concerning the recovery of interest on arrears of Entry Tax. The Supreme Court disposed of the appeal on a substantive basis, directing that no further recovery be pursued against the appellant for interest on Entry Tax arrears pending the final outcome of the writ petition filed by the appellant in the High Court. The Court held that any future recovery would be conditional upon the result of the ongoing writ petition, thus protecting the appellant from precipitate collection during litigation.
