Kotwal, J.1. (The following paras of the judgment are made for reporting by His Lordship),xxx xxx xxx xxx7. As to whether an appeal provision is prescribed under section 406 of the Act qua the order directing levy of octroi would hardly be open for any debate in view of the clear prescription in section 406. This is placed in Chapter 26 regarding the proceedings before the Judge, District Judge and Magistrates. It is divided into 10 parts each part being complete by itself. Section 406 falls in Part III relating to appeals against valuation and taxes. It obviously applies even to the octroi since the octroi is also accepted as a tax on which there is hardly any dispute. The said provision in so far as is relevant reads as---'Section 406 : (1) Subject to the provisions hereinafter contained appeals against any rateable value or tax fixed or charged under this Act shall be heard and determined by the Judge.(2) No such appeal shall be entertained unless-(a) it is brought within fifteen da...
