2015 (9) TMI 810 - SC - Income TaxCalculation of court fees - as per HC there are all matters which required urgent attention of the State Government and if it is considered necessary appropriate amendment has to be made urgently to make the provision beyond any doubt. Now that the State legislature by inserting section 73A by the Amendment Act 2003 exempted State and its Officers from the payment of Court fees in official matters whether such a treatment can be extended to the Central Government and its officials in official matters consistent with the scheme of the Income Tax Act and the Wealth Tax Act is also a matter for consideration by the State Government Held that:- Order was passed by High Court i.e. more than 11 years ago. It appears that till date no remedial steps are taken even when the High Court directed that the copy of the said order be sent to the Chief Secretary to the State for perusal and follow up action. In these circumstances, we have inquired from the learned counsel appearing for the State of Kerala as to whether any decision was taken on the aforesaid recommendation of the High Court. Learned counsel wants sometime to seek instructions. Insofar as main issue is concerned, we have heard the learned counsel for the parties for sometime. However, in order to have holistic view in the matter, we would also like to know the steps that are taken by the State Government on the aspect mentioned above.
