Judgment text as reported

GOVERNMENT OF THE PUNJAB VS DEFENCE RAYA GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB Double taxation---Constitutionality---Double taxation is not beyond the scope of the relevant legislature, if in substance the levy in question is otherwise properly within its domain---Correct rule is that there is a very strong presumption against double taxation and a heavy burden is cast on the State to show that it has been resorted to---However, if the language of the statute is otherwise clear then the levy cannot be declared unconstitutional on such basis.
