State Of Haryana – Respondent
ORDER
Leave granted.
2. We have heard learned counsel for the parties. This appeal is directed against the judgment of the Punjab and Haryana High Court allowing the writ petition partly. The writ petitioner challenged the validity of Sections 37 and 38 of the Haryana Sales Tax Act in the High Court.

Sant Lal & Anr.1 No further need be said with respect to Section 38 of the Act.
3. Coming to Section 37 of the Act, its validity was also upheld by this Court in Delite Carriers (Regd.) v.
