Challenges to tax demands questioned the State's legislative power under Section 174 of the KSGST Act and limitation under Section 25(1) of the KVAT Act. The court dismissed the writ petitions by applying an earlier judgment covering both issues against the petitioners.
This page shows the compact analysis of this judgement. The full analysis — procedural history, issue-by-issue holdings with ratio and obiter, advocates, and paragraph-level evidence for every claim — is being added to the record in batches and will appear here when this judgement has been through it.

In this batch of writ petitions the petitioners have laid challenge, amongst others, on the ground that Section 174 of the KSGST Act is ultra vires of the State's legislative power or on the ground that the demand is barred by limitation under Section 25(1) of the KVAT Act. In some cases, both the grounds have been taken.
I, therefore, dismiss the writ petitions applying the ratio of the judgment referred to above.
