Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
The HC remitted the matter to the respondent for fresh consideration whether the petitioner, who has paid the tax and limited its dispute to imposition of penalty and applicability of machinery provisions, validly contends that proceedings under s. 74 are inappropriate and should have been initiated under s. 73; the respondent is directed to exercise powers under s. 75(2) and complete the re-examination within three months from receipt of this order. The petitioner must file a detailed reply to the notice and treat the impugned order as a show cause notice within 30 days. The petition is disposed of.
