remitted by the court, the Board shall revise the assessment as the opinion of the court may require.

(6) In any proceedings before the Supreme Court under this section, the court may make such order in regard to costs in the Supreme Court and in regard to the sum paid under sub-section (1) as to the court may seem fit.

(7) Appeals from decisions of the Supreme Court under this section shall be governed by the provisions of the Supreme Court Ordinance, 1873, the Code of Civil Procedure, the Full Court Ordinance, 1933, and the Orders and Rules governing appeals to the Privy Council.

71. Where no valid objection or appeal has been lodged within the time limited by this Chapter against an assessment as regards the amount of the assessable income assessed thereby, or where the amount of the assessable income has been agreed to under section 65(2), or where the amount of such assessable income has been determined on objection or appeal, the assessment as made or agreed to or determined on appeal, as the case may be, shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Ordinance as regards the amount of such

assessable income:

Provided that nothing in this Chapter shall prevent an Assessor from making an assessment or additional assessment for any year of assessment which does not involve re-opening any matter which has been determined on appeal for the year.

CHAPTER XII

Payment and Recovery of Tax

72. (1) The tax charged by any assessment shall be paid in the manner directed in the notice of assessment on or before a date specified in such notice. Any tax not so paid shall be deemed to be in default, and the person by whom such tax is payable or, where any tax is payable by more than one person or by a partnership, then each of such persons and each partner in the partnership, shall be deemed to be a defaulter, for the purposes of this Ordinance.

(2) Tax shall be paid notwithstanding any notice of ob- jection or appeal, unless the Commissioner orders that payment of tax or any part thereof be held over pending the result of such objection or appeal:

(3) Where the Commissioner is of opinion either that the tax or any part thereof held over under sub-section (2) is likely to become irrecoverable, or that the appellant is un- reasonably delaying the prosecution of his appeal, he may cancel any order made under that sub-section and make such fresh order as the case may appear to him to require.

(4) Where, upon the final determination of an appeal under Chapter XI, or upon any order made by the Commis- sioner any tax which has been held over under sub-section (2) becomes payable or the tax charged by the original assessment is increased, the Commissioner shall give to the appellant a notice in writing fixing a date on or before which any tax or balance of tax shall be paid. Any tax not so paid shall be deemed to be in default.
