The stay is interim and will prevail till further orders, till the time the High Court lifts it. A division bench of the High Court passed the directions on a petition filed by Bhushan Power Steels Limited, Ludhiana.
It is pertinent to clarify here that the directions have been passed in an individual case. However, as per legal experts, the remaining bunch of cases challenging the entry tax will avail of the same order passed today which would mean that the government authorities will not be able to recover the entry tax.
While passing the directions, the Bench made it clear that though the government authorities will maintain a record they will not charge the entry tax. This means that at the time a vehicle enters into Punjab from some other state with goods, the owner of the vehicle will give a declaration with regard to goods according to which the entry tax will be calculated but the owner will not have to pay the same. source indian express
