Judgment text as reported

PAKISTAN ACCUMULATORS (PVT.) LTD. VS PAKISTAN through Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Islamabad Fiscal laws---Object, purpose and scope---Penalizing tax evaders---Provisions of fiscal statutes are to be understood and interpreted to give effect to the object and purpose of such statutes---Object and purpose of such statutes is to collect tax and ensure voluntary tax compliance---Penalizing tax evaders or slapping jail terms on delinquent taxpayers are not stand-alone objects of the Sales Tax Act, 1990---Seeking activation of criminal justice machinery against delinquent taxpayers in a trigger-happy manner as an initial measure cannot be the object of any rational tax administration.
