Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Sections 37 and 338 of the Haryana Sales Tax Act, affirming the High Court's earlier decision regarding Section 38, which had been struck down. The Court clarified the requirements of Section 37(2), stating that the production of one document from two specified sets is sufficient for compliance. The judgment emphasizes that if a person is unable to produce certain documents, they must satisfy the sales tax authority of their inability, and the authority may waive the requirement if satisfied.
