Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for the State/respondents. Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner for a direction to respondents to issue a permanent registration certificate to the petitioner for the year 2002-03 and 2003-04 for the unit of the petitioner situated at Gauja Jali Uttar, Bareilly Road, Haldwani for running the production of wooden furniture and fixture. Brief facts of the case are that petitioner is carrying on a business of manufacturing the wooden furniture and fixture in village Kishanpur, Gauja Jali Uttar, Chaudhary Colony, Bareiily Road, Haldwani District-Nainital since 2002. On 05.06.2002 the petitioner moved an application for the registration of its unit. On the basis of the Application No.13/Kashta Kala/2002-03 respondents registered the unit on 19.08.2002 and on 20.08.2002 the respondent no.2 supplied a certificate to the petitioner to this effect. After obtaining the temporary registration certificate the petitioner 2 started its production at the unit. On 28.09.2002 petitioner also moved an application to respondent no.2 for issuing a permanent registration certificate. Thereafter the petitioner claimed benefit of tax exemption under the Trade Tax Act which is granted to new units registered with Uttarakhand Khadi & Village Industry Board. For taking benefit of tax exemption the petitioner submitted copy of the temporary registration certificate before the Trade Tax Authorities. On the basis of said temporary registration certificate the Trade Tax Department started giving benefit of tax exemption to the petitioner’s unit. On 22.12.2004 the respondents issued permanent registration certificate to the petitioner for a period from 22.12.2004 to 21.12.2007. The petitioner supplied the copy of the said permanent registration certificate before the Trade Tax Authority. Now the Trade Tax Authorities are asking the petitioner to obtain the permanent registration certificate from respondent no.2 from the date of initial registration i.e. 20.08.2002 and also for submitting the same with Trade Tax Authorities. The petitioner approached respondents authority for issuing permanent registration certificate for the period of 2002-03 and 2003-04 but respondents are not paying any heed towards the petitioner’s request. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner may be permitted to submit another representation before the respondents authorities and respondent authorities be directed to decide the same expeditiously. Learned 3 Standing Counsel submitted that he has no objection in case such direction is issued. In view of aforesaid facts and without going into the merit of the case whether permanent registration can be given from back date or not, the writ petition is disposed of by permitting the petitioner to file a fresh representation before the respondents authority within a period of two weeks. In case such representation is filed within time, the respondents authority shall decide the same in accordance with law within a period of three weeks from the date of production of certified copy of the order. Interim relief application no.5726 of 2010 also stands disposed of. (V.K.Bist. J,) 16.07.2010 Arti 4
