Reported in: AIR1974All469

Satish Chandra, J.1. Respondent No. 2 is a resident of the State of Madhya Pradesh. He held a stage carnage permit for the Jhansi-Mahoba route. In due course he applied for its renewal to the Regional Transport Authority, Gwalior. Madhya Pradesh. The appellants, who are operators on this route or a portion thereof, filed objections.

Omrao Industrial Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd. Vs. Sales Tax Officer and anr ...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-12-1973

Reported in: [1974]33STC343(All)

Satish Chandra, J.1. The petitioner is a registered company. At its factory at Kanpur it produces various kinds of oil from oil-seeds. It established a solvent extraction plant for recovery of oil from oil-cakes and rice bran. In the course of sales tax assessment proceedings the petitioner claimed that the solvent rice bran sold by it was exempt from tax. The Sales Tax Officer did not agree and by an assessment order dated 26th March, 1973, passed for the assessment year 1968-69, it held that the de-oiled rice bran was neither cattle fodder nor oil-cake and, therefore, it was not exempt from tax. It appears that the same point was involved in different assessment orders either before the Sales Tax Officer or in appeal. With a view to seek a final decision of the question from this court the petitioner instituted a writ petition challenging the validity of the aforesaid assessment order.2. In the Survey of India's Export Potential of Oil-Cakes, Vol. IV, page 1, de-oiled rice bran is de...
