Clause (b) of Subsection 1 of Section 7 of Bombay Stamp Act, 1958 is intended to ensure that no one evades the stamp duty payable on an instrument under the said Act by executing and stamping the original in another State where a lesser stamp duty is payable and thereafter, bring a copy thereof within the State for doing something on the basis of the rights and liabilities created by it. The legislative intent is to ensure that there is no evasion of duty on such instruments. The provision is to levy only a differential duty. There is no double taxation. - HC
