Bombay sales tax act 1956 c forms lost

Sir
A co in maharashtra supplied goods to co in Goa in 1995. While assessing in 2008 C forms were not traceble. STO asked to give declaration in form G and bond etc. Buyer at Goa was also requested to issue duplicate who refused as matter was old , time barred.. Yet Commercial Tax Officer Goa confirmed the sale. Now STO refused to accept Declaration in Form G and levied Tax at full rates which is almost 3 time more with penalty. What is the remedy ?

How can STO make assessment of 1994/95 period in 2008 ?
Last assessment hearing was held in 2000 AD

Shall be gratefull for advice.

You need to challenge the illegal order before the appellate authority.
