The court upheld the Order's clarification that taxes paid before the scheme announcement did not qualify, as it aligned with the budget speech's intent to benefit existing defaulters. The court rejected the petitioner's claim of discrimination, as the scheme targeted defaulters, not non-defaulters like the petitioner.
