Petition Dismissed for Failing to Exhaust Sales Tax Act Remedy

The High Court of Punjab dismissed the application on the preliminary ground that the petitioner did not pursue the remedy provided by the Sales Tax Act. A Division Bench had previously ruled that the Act provides a legal remedy to challenge the tax levied by the State Government, and therefore, a writ should not be issued. The current application was dismissed with costs. (Case: 1953 (8) TMI 15 - PUNJAB HIGH COURT)
