STATE OF HARYANA vs PRAGATI SILENCERS P.LTD. — C.A. No. 5985/1997

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Haryana's civil appeal on August 21, 2003. The case involved a stamp duty dispute over a 1990 agreement; the Registrar demanded Rs. 1,33,685 in stamp duty, claiming it was a sale deed rather than an agreement. The District Judge held the agreement was not a sale deed and that the Registrar's action was time-barred (raised over three years after registration). The Court found no justification to interfere with the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition and upheld the District Judge's decision. No costs were awarded.
