Commissioner of Sales Tax Vs. Munshi Lal Hari Ram

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-18-1978

Reported in: [1979]43STC174(All)

C.S.P. Singh, J.1. The Additional Judge (Revisions) has, at the instance of the Commissioner of Sales Tax, referred the following question for our opinion :Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Additional Judge (Revisions) was legally justified to hold that the dealer was not importer when he received back the goods for disposal from another State ?2. The facts necessary for disposing of this reference fall within a narrow compass. The assessment year involved is 1965-66 in which the assessee purchased 300 tins of vegetable oil at Budaun from Messrs. Mool Chand Raghubir Saran. This transaction was entered into by the assessee on behalf of an ex-U. P. dealer, Messrs. Gopilal Banshidhar, Jaipur, and the entire goods were despatched by the assessee to the Jaipur dealer.

Khanna Coke Industries and anr. Vs. the Assistant Commissioner (Judici ...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-18-1978

Reported in: [1987]64STC335(All)

R.M. Sahai, J.1. In these petitions the only controversy is whether coke briquettes manufactured by the assessee are declared goods as contemplated in Section 14 of the Central Sales Tax Act, as such liable to lower rate of tax as provided in Section 15 of the Act.2. On the finding that coke briquettes are manufactured by mechanically pressing the mixture of coal-dust, multani mitti and molasses, the Sales Tax Officer held it to be a product of coal and an unclassified item. The rate of tax under Sub-section (2-A) of Section 3-A of the U.P. Sales Tax Act in respect of goods other than those referred in Sub-sections (1) and (2) of the section at the point of sale by manufacturer or importer is seven per cent. It is not disputed that coke briquettes are not mentioned in any schedule or notification issued by the State Government.3. Section 14(ia) of the Central Sales Tax Act reads as under :14. It is hereby declared that the following goods are of special importance in inter State trade ...

irshad Ahmad Vs. State and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-18-1978

Reported in: 1978CriLJ1464

ORDERP.N. Bakshi, J.1. This application in revision arises out of the proceedings under Section 147, Cr. P.C. It appears that on the report of the station Officer Kotwali that there existed a dispute between the Hindu and Muslim sections of the community, on the question of user of Sati Ka Math, which was likely to endanger and generate communal tension, proceedings under Section 147, Cr. P.C. were undertaken. Since the case was considered of emergency, a prayer was also made for the attachment of the disputed property during the enquiry. The Magistrate passed an order on the receipt of the report as follows:Index, register case under Section 147 and put up. Issue notices.This was an administrative order. In fact another order had been passed on 25th Dec., 1973. That was the preliminary order in the case. That order also incorporates that since there was a likelihood of a breach of peace, and the case was one of emergency, the property in dispute was attached and the parties were restr...

Commissioner of Sales Tax Vs. Basic Shoe Factory

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-17-1978

Reported in: [1979]43STC152(All)

Satish Chandra, C.J.1. The assessee manufactures and sells shoes. For the assessment year 1966-67, it disclosed gross sales at Rs. 6,57,366 of which U. P. sales were of Rs. 2,57,738. All these sales were made by the assessee to the State Trading Corporation at Agra. The corporation paid the entire agreed price to the assessee. Subsequently, the corporation paid a sum of Rs. 21,316 to the assessee on account of devaluation of currency. The assessing authority brought this amount to tax as part of the turnover of the assessee in respect of sale of shoes on the footing that this amount formed part of the sale consideration. This view was upheld in appeal. The appellate authority held that the assessee received the amount because the price of goods in terms of rupees had increased.2. The assessee went up in revision. The revising authority found :It seems that the State Trading Corporation, Agra, made purchases of shoes from the assessee. Thereafter the shoes were exported outside India. O...

For the assessment year 1958-59, it returned an amount of Rs. 28,141.96 in its returns but with a note that this amount was not liable to sales tax because it was received by way of compensation.

At the instance of the assessee, the following question of law has been referred for our opinion :Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the price of the goods which had been misappropriated by the stockists of the assessee would be sale price so as to constitute the turnover of the assessee ?3.

Dhanya Kumar JaIn Vs. Rajendra Prasad and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-12-1978

Reported in: AIR1978All469

Deoki Nandan, J.1. This is a defendant's second appeal in a suit for mandatoryinjunction for closing down certain water spouts and ventilators. There were two defendants, Smt. Chandra Prabha, who is the second respondent, and Sri Dhanya Kumar Jain, defendant-appellant. The trial court decreed the suit and the lower appellate court has confirmed that decree. Smt. Chandra Prabha was concerned with one of the water spouts. She has not appealed. Sri Sinha learned counsel for the defendant-appellant has confined his case to the decree directing the closure of the ventilators. He urges that even if the ventilators were recently constructed, the defendant-appellant had constructed them in his own wall. The only complaint was that they overlooked the plaintiffs Chabutra. But these facts alone did not give the plaintiff a right to have them closed. A person has a right to use his own property in any manner he likes and it has not been shown in the present case that the opening of the ventilator...

Saraya Sugar Mills (P.) Ltd., Gorakhpur Vs. the Commissioner of Income ...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-11-1978

Reported in: AIR1978All405; [1979]116ITR387(All)

Satish Chandra, C.J.1. One ofthe questions which arose in this reference was whether interest paid on arrears of sugarcane purchase tax was an allowable deduction. At the hearing of this reference learned counsel for the assessee placed reliance on Kamlapat Moti Lal v. Commr. of Income-tax, 1975 UPTC 408 : 1975 Tax LR 1036 in support of his submission that interest so paid was a deductible expenditure.2. The Bench hearing this reference felt that M/s. Kamlapat Moti Lal's case 1975 Tax LR 1036 (All) requires reconsideration. It hence referred the caseto a Full Bench. That is how the matter has come up before us.3. In Kamlapat's case 1975 Tax LR 1036 this Court laid down two main propositions.-(1) The U. P. Sugarcane Purchase Tax Act did not call interest as penalty. It made provision for interest as well as penalty separately, and It also made independent provisions for their recovery. Interest was not penalty. In carrying on a business an assessee may not be able to discharge his finan...
