Issues: Whether stamp duty could be levied on bills of entry filed for imported goods and, if not, whether the amount collected was refundable with interest.
Analysis: The Court followed the earlier binding view that a bill of entry is distinct from a delivery order and does not answer the description of an instrument liable to stamp duty under Article 24 of the Bombay Stamp Act. It held that the authorities were not justified in insisting upon payment of stamp duty on bills of entry and that the amount had been collected contrary to the settled legal position. The Court also directed restitution of the amount with interest at 9% per annum from the date of collection until refund.
Conclusion: Stamp duty could not be levied on the bills of entry, and the amount collected was directed to be refunded with interest in favour of the writ applicants.
