THE STATE OF HARYANA vs M/S. PANAMA ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES,HISAR

The Supreme Court ruled that the exercise of revisional power under Section 40 of the Haryana General Sales Tax Act, 1973, after its repeal by the Haryana Value Added Tax Act, 2003, is not sustainable. The Court held that since there were no pending proceedings under the repealed Act at the time of the new Act's enforcement, the revisional powers could not be invoked. The decision of the High Court was upheld, confirming that the saving clause in Section 61 of the Act of 2003 only applies to pending proceedings, thus rendering the revisional action invalid.
