BHAGWANPUR SUGAR MILLS vs STATE OF PUNJAB — SLP(C) No. 17651/2010

On 10/02/2014, the Supreme Court allowed multiple Interlocutory Applications filed by Bhagwanpur Sugar Mills and set aside the High Court's dismissals of their writ petitions. The Court found the petitioners had failed to exhaust alternative remedies under the Punjab General Sales Tax Act, 1948 before approaching the High Court regarding assessment orders. The Court granted petitioners one month to file appropriate petitions before the Appellate Authority or Tribunal (depending on the petition category) and directed these bodies to decide matters without reference to limitation periods.
