by his order dated 07.11.2001 assessed the value of the subject matter
of the Deed of Conveyance dated 13.06.1996 at Rs. 30300.00 lakhs and
levied a stamp duty of Rs. 2372.50 lakhs and imposed a penalty of Rs.
509.05 lakhs. The said demand was challenged before the High Court of
Madhya Pradesh Bench at Gwalior. The High Court accepted the case of
the Company that the subject matter of the Deed of Conveyance dated
13.06.1996 is only the superstructures valued at Rs. 2776.18 lakhs and
not the entire undertaking valued at Rs. 30300.00 lakhs as claimed by
the State. Consequently, the High Court of Madhya Pradesh quashed the
order and demands issued by the Collector of Stamps, Bhind (Madhya
Pradesh) and allowed the writ petition by an order dated 29th November
2004. Against the said order, the State of Madhya Pradesh preferred a
Special Leave Petition before the Honble Supreme Court which the State
of Madhya Pradesh has withdrawn to enable it to approach the Honble
High Court of Madhya Pradesh at Gwalior in view of the change in law in
the State of Madhya Pradesh relating to Letters Patent Appeal.

based on a specified percentage of each covered employees salary. From
