In politicking, everything is ‘right’ (ist) or ‘left ‘(ist) ; no such concept as ‘wrong’.
No wonder that, lately, even the judiciary has perforce been
veering round and leniently favoring the idea of ‘updating construction’’ – in any matter of legal dispute, coming up for judicious adjudication. To be precise, the increasingly favored 'principle' is that, notwithstanding the 'letter'
(of the law), the presumption chosen to be gone by is that Parliament intends the
court to apply to an ongoing enactment (e.g. tax law) a construction that
continuously updates its wording to allow for changes- mainly, socio-economic changes. In other words, as a puritan may wish to bluntly put
it, with a tinge of remorse, there is no such thing , right or wrong, any longer.
Over to legal pundits, if hold any different view.

The narration of the instant apex court verdict is too confusing to prove
brain teasing; rather the already obtaining large scale confusion happens to be
worse confounded. Especially, to anyone who has read and is expected to have a
reasonable understanding of the special law in force in most of the States
applicable to multi-unit building complexes. To give a hint, the very concept
of, -'basement', generally and broadly denotes the floor space meant for
car parking; further, is to be sold / conveyed only to the unit purchasers, for
a price, along with the unit to which it is regarded as appurtenant. So much
so, anyone wanting to know the true legal implications of the instant SC case would be obliged to first ascertain what the domestic law of that state,
if any applicable to units says; also, to closely read the judgment if and when
reported, so as to understand it in proper light/background.
This is not the first instance when the Press has sought to project a court
verdict as sensational news of ordinary type, presumably having no idea at
all, of the setting in law in which the ruling has been rendered. Looking back,
what comes to mind is the SC decision in the earlier reported notorious Nahalchand Case.

In fact, it is noted, on the first blush, prima facie, the view (on the primary issue) in Nahalchand's case the apex court has taken is diagonally opposite to the view now taken in the instant case. Further, the impression sought to be given that the ruling in the instant case brings relief to buyers may prove an illusion; for that fails to bear in mind, in the ultimate analysis, from the viewpoint of the 'common good', it might not turn out to be so.

Some States may get more time to join GST: Shaktikanta Das
< Some States are likely to get up to a year more to join the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime after its introduction on April 1, 2016. A transitional provision has been prescribed in the Constitution Amendment Bill*, introduced in the Lok Sabha last Friday.>

Whatever be the impediments, the indicated move prima facie
sounds a non-starter ! For, GST , as understood, has the predominant objective
of consolidating and streamlining the taxation of transactions involving
movement of goods and services inter states i.e. Octroi, Sales tax, and Service
tax. Instantly, a common thinker is obliged to frightfully imagine a train on
its track, given signal to start, despite the couplings between a few of its
coaches having been de-linked?
May be, the brain(s) behind do(es)
have a vision of own, to explain what exactly is the projected plan!

Tail Note:
This again marks a partial roll back; climb down in quick succession, in an obvious attempt to succumb to a compromise, even at the cost of sacrifice in principles . Preceded by a novel dual GST regime- not common or known before elsewhere across the Globe.
Poser: Do not these entail a discrimination between business community in States; and potentials for a palpably dreadful creation of an imbalance amongst the States, inter se ?
More importantly, as is imagined, there could be perennial, irresolute problems of all kinds, in cohesive implementation and administration of the GST regime, by each state , so also all states put together- True or Not ?
