Reported in: [1969]24STC415(All)

Reported in: [1970]25STC218(All)

R.S. Pathak, J.1. The assessee deals in foodgrains. In assessment proceedings under the U.P. Sales Tax Act for the assessment year 1959-60 he disclosed a gross turnover of Rs. 21,047-9-6 and claimed that he was not taxable. He relied upon Notification No. ST-1025/X-1097(i)/58 dated 1st April, 1959, which declares that with effect from 1st April, 1959, no tax will be payable by the dealer on the turnover of foodgrains where such turnover does not exceed Rs. 25,000 during the assessment year. He admitted that he had sold foodgrains worth Rs. 32,756-6-6 through commission agents but claimed that the sale proceeds could not be included in his turnover. The Sales Tax Officer rejected the contention and held him liable to tax on the ground that by including the sale proceeds of Rs. 32,756-6-6 the gross turnover of the assessee exceeded the limit of Rs. 25,000. The assessee preferred an appeal, and the appeal was allowed by the Assistant Commissioner (Judicial) Sales Tax who, following a deci...
