 Petition challenged the Order of High Court in the Hon''ble Supreme

 Constitutional Bench, which laid certain parameters to examine the Act
 on those lines. On the basis of these parameters the Hon''ble High Court
 have declared the Act to be ultra virus on 14th March, 2007. Since,

 Courts have given judgment in favour of the petitioner, no tax would be
 collected. In the mean time the Haryana Government has repealed the

 liability and also from the future liability to be accrued. On 30th
 October, 2009, the Hon''ble Supreme Court have directed that 1/3rd of
 the liability is to be paid by all the assesses whose cases are pending
 in the High Courts. As, at present, there is no Act either LADT/Entry
 Tax prevalent in Haryana State, no tax is being collected from the
 assesses however undertaking have given by assesses that in case they
 lose they will make the payment. As such on prudence basis, full
 liability has been provided for. In the meantime, i.e. on 16.04.2010
 the Entry Tax matters of the states have been referred to a larger
 9-Judges Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court, where the judgement
 of 7-Judges Constitutional Bench passed 49 years ago would be
 revisited. Constitution Bench has not been constituted as yet and the
 status of the case is as it is and at present no tax is being
 collected/paid in Haryana.
