Commissioner, Sales Tax Vs. Sheo Shanker Prasad

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-29-1978

Reported in: [1979]43STC181(All)

C.S.P. Singh, J.1. The sales tax application was filed after amendment of Section 11 of the U. P. Sales Tax Act in 1977; with the result it has to be treated as a revision. Standing counsel has filed an affidavit of service on the assessee; but none has appeared.2. An ex parte assessment was made against the assessee and he deposited an amount of Rs. 3,682.02 before moving the application under Section 30 for setting aside the ex parte order. An application under Section 30 can be entertained in case a particular amount of tax is deposited by the asses-see. The assessee had to deposit an amount of Rs. 3,910.23 and, as there was a short fall, the assessee claimed that an amount of Rs. 425.00 deposited by him at the check post barrier, Naubatpur, in pursuance of the provisions of Section 28-A read with Section 13-A(6) be treated as completing the deposit of tax. This contention was not accepted by the Sales Tax Officer and also repelled in appeal. It, however, found favour with the Judge...

Commissioner of Sales Tax Vs. Abdul Khaliq Mistri

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-29-1978

Reported in: [1979]43STC428(All)

C.S.P. Singh, J.1. The Revising Authority, Meerut, has referred the following question of law for the opinion of this Court:Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the turnover of tube-well filters was assessable to sales tax as spare parts of machinery for the assessment year 1968-69 2. The question is as to whether filters of tube-well should be assessed as spare parts of machinery or as an unclassified item. Both the appellate authority and the Judge (Revisions) have taken the view that filters cannot be assessed either as machinery or as spare parts. The Judge (Revisions) found that filters were made by perforated tubes and fitted gauze over it. It is common knowledge that filter is an essential part of a tube-well as it prevents substances other than water from going into the suction tube. In case a filter is not titted to the suction tube of a tube-well, the tube-well would become choked and unworkable after some time. It is as such an essential part of the tu...

Satish Chandra, C.J. 1. This reference relates to the assessment years 1964-65 and 1967-68. The two questions referred for our opinion are in respect of these years.

For the assessment year 1964-65, the return was to be filed till September 30, 1964. A notice under Section 139(2) of the Act was served on the assessee on June 1, 1964, calling for a return on or before July 1, 1964. The assessee, however, filed the return on May 21, 1965. 2.
