The simple case is that the applicant reconstituted their firm and applied for registration. The application for registration was delayed by more than a month.

Commissioner, Sales Tax Vs. Niazia Electric Works

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-05-1976

Reported in: [1976]38STC439(All)

K.B. Asthana, C.J.1. We have heard the learned standing counsel. We adopt the definition of commutator given in the British Encyclopaedia which is 'a device in a dynamo by which an alternating current is converted into a continuous one'. A continuous current is also electricity. A continuous current cannot be generated unless a commutator is used in a dynamo. Continuous current, therefore, can only be generated or produced through the use of the commutator. Commutator thus would be a device or an instrument which is connected with the generation of electricity. Commutator does not consume electricity. It only generates it though of a particular species. It is, therefore, different from the category of 'electrical goods' and forms the class of goods known as 'electrical equipment' as defined in Notification No. ST-7096/X-1012-1965 dated 1st October, 1965.2. We, therefore, answer the question referred in the negative, against the Sales Tax Commissioner and in favour of the assessee. The ...
