The Supreme Administrative Court's Full Bench dismissed the appeal, ruling that it lacks the authority to re-evaluate the interpretation of an administrative act previously established by a Section. The appellant, a company, challenged a stamp duty exemption decision, arguing for a different legal understanding. The court determined that under the principle of judicial restraint, the Full Bench must respect the binding interpretation given by the specialized Section unless specific procedural grounds exist.
