IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4413 of 2008 M/s Deepak Vegpro Private Limited, having its registered office at old Industrial Area, Itarana Nagar, Alwar, Rajasthan, through its authorized signatory Sudhir Kumar Garg, S/o-Late Shankar Lal Garg, Resident of Sangalia Sadan, Opposite City School, G.S.Path, P.S.-Chowk, District- Patna. ………Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Chief Secretary, Patna. 2. The Director of Industries, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Industrial Development Commissioner, Industries Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 4. The Commissioner & Secretary cum Inspector General, Registration Department, Government of Bihar, Vikas Bhawan, Patna. 5. District Sub-Registrar, Sadar Registry, District-Bhabhua, Bihar. 6. Official Liquidator, Patna High Court, Patna. ……….Respondents. ----------- 09. 10.02.2009 Petitioner’s dispute is with regard to grant of exemption from payment of stamp duty and registration fee. The matter came up before this Court and this Court observing the facts has directed the Director of Industries to take a decision in the matter. Today a counter affidavit has been filed in which an order of the Director of Industries as addressed to the Sub-Registrar, Kaimur at Bhabhua dated 24.10.2008 has been annexed. By that order the Director of Industries has clearly opined that the petitioner is entitled to exemption from payment of stamp duty and registration fee in respect of the purchase of the properties of erstwhile M/s Ganga Vanaspati Limited as sold under the orders of the High - 2 - Court. The sale deed is being executed by the official liquidator, Patna High Court in favour of the petitioner. In my view, in view of the order as noticed above which is an order of the Government, the Sub-Registrar, Kaimur at Bhabhua has no option but to register the conveyance without stamp duty and registration fee as he has no authority in law to question the decision of the Government in this regard. The exemption would be deemed to be an exemption in terms of the Industrial Incentive Policies, 2006. In view of the fair stand taken in the matter, the writ petition is thus disposed of.
