Judgment text as reported

KAMRAN TEXTILE MILLS (PVT.) LTD. VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN Ss.72B & 25---Selection of audit of taxpayer under S.72B of Sales Tax Act, 1990---Access to records and documents under S.25 of Sales Tax Act, 1990---Distinction between nature and scope of powers under Ss. 25 & 72B of Sales Tax Act, 1990---Sections 25 & 72B of Sales Tax Act, 1990 were fundamentally different and under the first, Commissioner selected a person for audit on his own motion on basis of record available while under latter, Board made selection for audit through computer ballot, which may be random or parametric---Both Ss. 25 & 72B were therefore independent of each other and had their own sway; and only mutuality between them was to the extent that S.72B(2) adopted procedure prescribed under S.25 of Sales Tax Act, 1990 for audit, and same could not be construed as to render said S.72B(2) subservient to proviso to S.25(2) of Sales Tax Act, 1990 or to limit the Boards' power under the same---Expression "audit under this section" used in S.72B of Sales Tax Act, 1990 affirmed independence of said section.
