<h1>Court Upholds Classification in Entry Tax Dispute; Dismisses Petition Challenging Tax Board's Decision on Limitation Period.</h1> <h3>Commercial Tax Officer, Circle-B, Bharatpur Versus Bhagat Singh</h3> Commercial Tax Officer, Circle-B, Bharatpur Versus Bhagat Singh - TMI Issues:Challenge against judgment of Rajasthan Tax Board regarding liability to pay entry tax based on the definition of casual trader.Analysis:The revision petition challenged the Rajasthan Tax Board's judgment, which allowed the respondent's appeal. The petitioner argued that the respondent could not be considered a casual trader based on the definition clause. The respondent had brought a vehicle from outside Rajasthan without paying sales tax in the state, making them liable for entry tax. However, the court noted a previous judgment where a similar situation was considered, and it was held that such a person would fall under the provisions of being a casual trader. As the assessment was done more than two years prior, the limitation period for reopening assessments applied. Consequently, the Tax Board found the petitioner's actions beyond the limitation and set aside the order.The court observed that there was no miscarriage of justice by the Tax Board, and it did not exceed its powers. Therefore, the court concluded that no further interference was necessary, leading to the dismissal of the revision petition.
