Perusal of order of Board of Revenue dated July 31, 1998, filed and relied on by the petitioner clearly indicates that it relates to period from August 1, 1984 to July 31, 1985. The facts of the case that led to filing of an appeal by the petitioner to Board of Revenue for the period in question (August 1, 1984 to July 31, 1985) need mention.
