Appeal Against OrderExcise, VAT & Custom

The Orissa High Court clarified that the Supreme Court's interim relief on entry tax interest applies only to the petitioners in the specific Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the apex court. This means that the interim stay on the collection of interest on entry tax arrears is limited in its scope and does not extend to all assessees liable for entry tax in the state. Other taxpayers would still be subject to the applicable interest charges.
