Judgment text as reported

COMMISSIONER INLAND REVENUE VS ZIA-UR-REHMAN Retrospective effect---Scope---In absence of any stipulation to the contrary, any change in substantive law which adversely affects vested rights of the parties should always have prospective application---Courts lean against giving retrospective operation where the same would prejudicially affect vested rights or past transactions---A prospective statue operates from date of its enactment conferring new rights whereas a retrospective statute, on the other hand, operates backwards and takes away or impairs vested rights acquired under existing laws---However, a statutory provision cannot be termed to have been given retrospective effect merely because a part of the requisites for its action is drawn from a time antecedent to its passing or operation thereof is based upon the status that arose earlier.
