The Tribunal held that the invocation of Section 69(1)(o) of the J&K VAT Act, 2005, was incorrect as the penalty provision under Section 4(3) of the J&K Entry Tax on Goods Act, 2000, was not applicable since the documents were not found to be fake or false. The High Court agreed that the questions of law sought for reference did not arise from the proceedings.
