Sabharwal Brothers Vs. Commissioner, Sales Tax

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-09-1988

Reported in: [1990]76STC41(All)

R.R. Misra, J.1. The facts of this case are somewhat peculiar. In this case by the impugned order dated 25th June, 1987, the Sales Tax Tribunal has come to a conclusion that penalty proceedings initiated by the Sales Tax Officer under Section 15-A(1)(h) of the U.P. Sales Tax Act are not leviable but the Tribunal has further recorded findings to the following effect :'Thus the penalty is not liable to be imposed under Section 15-A(1)(h) of the U.P. Sales Tax Act but the facts and circumstances clearly establish that the act of the appellant can be placed under other clauses as is pointed above. Since the notice under the proper clause is necessary before imposition of penalty, it would be necessary to remand the case back for deciding afresh. The appeal is decided accordingly.'2. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. In my opinion after the Tribunal had come to the conclusion in the impugned order dated 25th June, 1987, that no penalty is leviable it was not open to the Tribunal...

The petitioner manufactures metalised yarn and the question arose whether the said goods fell under Item 15-A(2) as an article of plastic and whether that was covered by Item 18 as synthetic yarn. The Customs, Excise and Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal by the order dated 16-4-1985 (Annexure 'T to the writ petition) held in favour of the petitioner that the metalised yarn fell under Item 15A(2) and not under Item 18 CET. In the light of this decision of the Tribunal, the petitioner put his claim for refund of duties, which had been paid for the aforesaid period, but the Tribunal made the observation that the claim of the appellant, beyond the period of one year, was barred by limitation and unless the duty was prove...

The subject-matter of the auction is the right to ferry or load or unload animals at the cattle fair for a monetary consideration.

This led to the person who had offered the highest bid upon which auction was closed to seek an injunction to protect the right to carry on his trade by the trial Court. The Zila Parishad chose to file the present first appeal from order questioning its own auction. The consideration whether injunction has bee...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-08-1988

Reported in: [1989]73STC220(All)

R.R. Misra, J.1. By means of these four revisions the assessee has challenged the impugned order dated 18th April, 1987 passed by the Sales Tax Tribunal with regard to the assessment years 1979-80, 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1982-83.2. The assessee is publisher and sells books. He sold certain materials, in regard to which a dispute arose as to whether they are books or exercise books. Under a Notification No. S.T.-2-5785/X-10(1)/80-U.P. Act XV/48-Order 81, dated 7th September, 1981 exercise books are taxable at a rate of 6 per cent at the point of sale on manufacture. The Sales Tax Department took the view that the publications in dispute are exercise books and as such are taxable at the rate of 6 per cent accordingly. Both the appellate authorities below have agreed with the said view of the assessing authority and have dismissed the appeals filed by the assessee.3. I have heard learned counsel for the assessee. His submission is that the publications in question, which have been sold by t...

Reported in: [1989]176ITR120(All)

By this applications, the Revenue requires us to direct us to direct the Tribunal to draw up a statement of the case and refer two questions.So far as question No. 1 is concerned, the same was decided against the Revenue by a Full Bench of this court in Triveni Engineering Works Ltd. v. CIT : [1983]144ITR732(All) . We, therefore, hold that question No. 1 is not a stable question and we, therefore, refuse to give any direction to refer the same.So far as question No. 2 is concerned, in our view, the same is a question of law and we, therefore, direct the Tribunal to draw up a statement of the case and refer the following question for the opinion of this court :'Whether, in law and on the facts of the case the Tribunal was justified in confirming the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals)s decision allowing the assessees claim of Rs. 2,14,694 on account of interest on excess collection of levy sugar price ?'The applications are partly allowed....

Baldeo Giri Sadhak Vs. 1st Addl. Civil Judge, Allahabad and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-07-1988

Reported in: AIR1989All79

ORDERA.N. Varma, J. 1. This petition is completely misconceived. It is directed against the decision of the Court below on issue No. 7 which was in regard to sufficiency of the court fee stamps and valuation. This very order was challenged by the petitioner himself in another jurisdiction of this Court by way of a revision under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court dismissed that revision on the ground that it was open to the petitioner to challenge the order in an appeal should a decree be passed against him. On the dismissal of the revision, the petitioner has invoked the jurisdiction of this court under Article 226 of the Constitution straightway.2. I have not the slightest doubt that the discretion of this Court under Article 226 cannot be exercised in the present circumstances. This court having declined to interfere with the impugned order in the revision filed by the petitioner on the ground that he has a remedy available to him by way of an appeal in case a dec...

Reported in: [1990]76STC45(All)

R.K. Gulati, J.1. This revision under the U.P. Sales Tax Act (for short 'the Act') which relates to assessment year 1975-76 is instituted at the instance of Jain Industries and Trading Corporation, Raiwala, Saharanpur (hereinafter referred to as 'the assessee').2. During the year in question the assessee was engaged in manufacture and sale of oil and khal and for that purpose, it was also purchasing oilseeds. It is not in dispute that no regular account books, cash-memos, cash book and ledger, etc., were maintained. The only accounts produced before the assessing officer were sale-cum-stock register and purchase vouchers. The business premises of the assessee were surveyed on 24th August, 1975 and 27th October, 1976. On the first survey a voucher was found which contained an entry of sale of ten tins of oil worth Rs. 2,272 which was not found recorded in the sale-cum-stock register.
