The decree merely continued an injunction order until full payment. The Court emphasized that a charge automatically arises on a defaulter's properties under the Kerala Sales Tax Act if the tax is not paid within 21 days of a demand notice, giving priority to the State for sales tax arrears over the decree holder.The Court dismissed the appeal in both cases, emphasizing the legal principles surrounding the creation and effectiveness of charges by arbitrators and the priority of payments in cases of tax arrears.
