Interim stay on sales tax recovery granted pending pleadings, with notice issued and Dasti service permitted.

Interim relief was granted restraining recovery of sales tax until completion of pleadings, with the matter to be listed immediately thereafter for further orders. The stay operates only at the interlocutory stage and preserves the parties' positions pending any substantive determination of tax liability. Notice was also issued in the petition, and Dasti service was permitted. Counsel accepted notice for certain respondents, while notice was directed to the Union of India, as part of the procedural steps advancing the proceedings.
