Arun Plastics, which was a registered dealer till May 5, 1992 when the registration was cancelled. On September 22, 1992, an application was made by the applicant for issuance of 60 numbers of declaration forms covering purchases during the periods of 1988-89, 1989-90, 1990-91 and partly during 1991-92, namely, up to June 25, 1991.
