Respondents ----------- 2. 24.6.2010. Nobody appears on behalf of the petitioner. On behalf of the State it was submitted that by a recent Division Bench judgment delivered on 21.5.2010 in CWJC No.9885 of 2008 (Abdul Majeed Khan v. State of Bihar), CWJC No.10037 of 2007 (M/s Pareek Power Pvt. Ltd. v. State of Bihar & ors.) and other analogous cases, a similar challenge to the provisions of Bihar Value Added Tax Act has been rejected. In view of the aforesaid submission on behalf of the State, the matter appears to have no merit. However, since - 2 - nobody appears on behalf of the petitioner, this application is dismissed for non- prosecution. Pawan/- (R.M. Doshit, CJ) (Shiva Kirti Singh, J)
