Judgment text as reported

DIRECTOR GENERAL KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA REVENUE AUTHORITY, PESHAWAR VS BEE LINE, PESHAWAR Fiscal laws---Principle of limitation is a crucial component of tax law, designed to ensure certainty, finality, and procedural discipline in legal proceedings---Limitation prescribes statutory time frame within which legal actions, including tax assessments and recovery proceedings must be initiated---Primary objective of limitation laws is to prevent undue delay, eliminate uncertainty and protect taxpayers from indefinite exposure to liability---Principle of limitation in tax law serves as a critical safeguard against arbitrary and indefinite proceedings, ensuring procedural fairness and adherence to statutory mandates---Interpretation of limitation provisions depends on legislative intent and statutory language---Where tax statutes prescribe a definitive time frame using prohibitive or restrictive language, such provisions are deemed mandatory, rendering any action beyond the prescribed period invalid---Such approach prevents tax authorities from exercising unfettered discretion in initiating or concluding proceedings outside the statutory framework.
