Only difference in these two cases is that in the case decided the representation filed by the Board in the matter of the grant of exemption to it from making payment of octroi to the municipal borough is pending before the State Government. Whereas in this case the representation made by the Board has been rejected. The order of rejection of the representation of the Board, by the State Government is not challenged by the Board. This writ petition is also disposed of in the same term in which Special Civil Application No.10570 of 1998 has been disposed of with slight modification that in case if the Board challenges the order of the State Government rejecting its representation and if the court decides in its favour then that decision will prevail over this decision. Rule stands disposed of accordingly. The respondent Board is directed to pay Rs.2,000/= as costs of this petition petitioner. (S.K.Keshote, J.) *Pvv
