Issues: (i) Whether the revision was maintainable when the prescribed affidavit of service had not been filed for several years in accordance with Chapter 27, Rule 5(2) of the High Court Rules, 1952. (ii) Whether the Tribunal's decision allowing the dealer's appeal and setting aside the penalty suffered from any error of fact or law warranting interference in revision.
Issue (i): Whether the revision was maintainable when the prescribed affidavit of service had not been filed for several years in accordance with Chapter 27, Rule 5(2) of the High Court Rules, 1952.
Analysis: The prescribed revision procedure required service on the opposite party and filing of an affidavit of service. The rule permitted delayed filing only for sufficient cause, but the affidavit still had to be filed within the stipulated time. Where no affidavit was filed and the assessee had not been served for years, the revision was not in accordance with the procedural rules.
Conclusion: The revision was not properly instituted and was liable to be rejected for non-compliance with the procedural requirement.
Issue (ii): Whether the Tribunal's decision allowing the dealer's appeal and setting aside the penalty suffered from any error of fact or law warranting interference in revision.
Analysis: The Tribunal had recorded findings of fact in favour of the dealer. No material was shown to establish that those findings were vitiated by any factual or legal error. In the absence of any demonstrable perversity or illegality, revisional interference was unwarranted.
Conclusion: The Tribunal's order did not call for interference and the question was answered against the Revenue.
Final Conclusion: The revision failed both on maintainability and on merits, leaving the Tribunal's relief to the dealer undisturbed.
Ratio Decidendi: A tax revision must comply with the prescribed service and affidavit requirements, and revisional interference is not warranted against concurrent factual findings absent a demonstrable error of law or fact.
