ORDER

Wangdi, J.

These two Review Petitions are taken up together as the Petitioners in both the cases seek to review the judgment of this Court dated 29-11-2012 by which the Writ Petitions being WP(C) Nos.23 of 2011 and 36 of 2011 were disposed of. It is relevant to note that one of us (Wangdi, J.) was a part of the Division Bench that rendered the judgment under review.

2. In those Writ Petitions, the Petitioners had challenged the constitutional validity of Sub-Clause (zzzzn) of Clause (105) of Section 65 of the Finance Act, 1994, as inserted by the Finance Act, 2010, on the ground, inter alia, that the Parliament lacked necessary legislative competence to levy tax on sale of lotteries as service in the light of Entry 34 of List II of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India and that Entry 92C of List I of the Constitution of India has not yet been notified. For convenience, we may reproduce the prayers sought for in WP(C) No.36 of 2011 pari materia the ones in WP(C) No.23 of 2011 and which are as follows:-
