2014 (1) TMI 674 - HC - VAT and Sales TaxMaintainability of appeal u/s 78 - Held that:- it is required to be noted that what was challenged before the learned Tribunal was the order passed by the Commissioner in exercise of suo motu revisional powers under Section 75 (1)(a) of the Act. The Commissioner did not exercise the revisional powers on any application and as stated above exercise the suo motu revisional powers. Under the circumstances considering Section 75(1)(b) of the Act against the order passed by the Commissioner passed in exercise of suo motu revisional powers only revision application before the learned Appellate Tribunal was maintainable and therefore, as such the learned Appellate Tribunal rightly entertained the revision applications and has rightly passed the impugned judgment and order in exercise of the revisional jurisdiction. That being so considering Section 78(1) of the Act and as the impugned order passed by the learned Appellate Tribunal is passed in revision applications shall not in appeal and therefore, Tax Appeal before this Court under Section 78(1) of the Act would not be maintainable. Considering Section 78(1) of the Act an appeal shall lie to the High Court from every order passed in Appeal by the Tribunal. In view of the above, it is held that the present appeals preferred under Section 78(1) of the Act would not be maintainable - Decided against Revenue.
