Capital Gains Tax was introduced through the West Pakistan Finance Act, 1963 and resulted upon section 16 of that Act. Such taxation measure has since been repealed and the element of revenue thus lost seems to have been covered by enhanced stamp duty on transfers etc. Still the rights and obligations of the parties under section 4 of the West Pakistan General Clauses Act, 1956 are to be determined on the basis of the law, as it prevailed at the time of transaction and passing of incidental orders, for such transactions are governed by the substantive law, as in force at the time the same were concluded and, pending proceedings while substantive law undergoes repeal or amendment, are to be decided, in accordance with the un-repealed or unamended law, as those proceedings, carry their own law, until brought to conclusion under such law. (c) Company- ---- Partnership firm---Liabilities of directors of a company and partners of a partnership firm---Distinction. (d) Company- ---- While a company, by fiction of law, is a juristic person and an entity, in appropriate cases, in order to assess its true import and character, the veil of incorporation can be lifted.
