Benefit of decision of SC in another case - The Petitioner did not choose to join the Petitioners who had challenged the vires of the OET Act or even the requirement thereunder of having to pay entry tax on the goods purchased from outside the State - The decision of this Court was applicable to those who had approached it. Even, the interim order passed by the Supreme Court was confined to those parties who had approached the Court. The Petitioner could not have taken advantage of it. Therefore, the Petitioner had no reasonable cause to withhold payment of entry tax when it fell due. - HC
