Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Chief Justice Mr. Justice Muhammad Junaid Ghaffar(Author)
Order Date: 16-APR-20
The precise controversy involved is that whether the Plaintiffs industry (beverage industry) is an agro-based industry, being entitled for exemption and benefits allowed vide SRO No.575(I)/2006 dated 05.06.2006 (SRO 575); and whether, can the Plaintiffs seek protection under the doctrine of departmental practice whereby in the past their industry has been recognized as an agro based industry. It has been held by the Court that the Plaintiffs have not been able to make out a case in their favor, in that the beverage industry cannot be called or classified as an agro-based industry for the purposes of exemption claimed under SRO 575; nor they are protected under the doctrine of past practice, once it is held that such practice was a wrong practice.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
