Reported in: [1981]48STC516(All)

ORDERSatish Chandra, C.J.1. The petitioner claims to be the owner of house No. 118-A, Rasoolabad, in the city of Allahabad. This house appears to have been attached in proceedings for recovery of sales tax dues from the firm M/s. Kisan Oil Mills, Rasoolabad, Allahabad. It appears that there were five partners in this firm-Brij Mohan was one of them. The respondents attached this house under the impression that Brij Mohan was its owner. The petitioner claimed that she was the owner and Brij Mohan had no interest in it. She filed an objection before the authority conducting the recovery proceedings but that objection was dismissed on the ground that there was no law under which he could take any action. The sale of the property was being conducted under the orders of the District Magistrate and so the objection was dismissed. Aggrieved, the petitioner has come to this Court.2. In Ram Narain v. Collector 1970 U.P.T.C. 143, a Division Bench of this Court has held that realisation of money ...

Reported in: [1982]50STC380(All)

R.M. Sahai, J.1. Taxability of apple juice which was manufactured by the assessee in the assessment year 1975-76 and supplied only to M/s. Mohan Meakin Breweries Ltd., Mohan Nagar, Ghaziabad, is in dispute. It is admitted that the assessee started supply from September, 1965. It extracted apple juice and sold to M/s. Mohan Meakin Breweries Ltd. It claimed before the assessing authority that the sale made by it was not taxable as the item could be held taxable only if it was sold in tin or tin container. This contention was not accepted. In appeal also the same contention was reiterated but was rejected.

The revising authority did not see any merit in it as admittedly the assessee supplied raw apple juice which was not marketable unless it was tested chemically. Accordi...
