Reported in: [1979]43STC285(All)

C.S.P. Singh, J.1. The assessee acted as a purchasing agent of oil-seeds for certain mills.

In the assessment, the assessee claimed that as he had made purchases on behalf of the mills, who held certificate under Section 4-B(2), the turnover of purchases made by the assessee on their behalf should be taxed at a concessional rate. This contention was rejected by the Sales Tax Officer as also by the appellate authority. It has found favour with the revising authority.2. Sri V. D.
