Reported in: AIR1970AP332

Chinnappa Reddy, J.1. This Writ Petition came up for hearing before one of us in the first instance and was referred to a Division Bench as it was thought that the decision of the Division Bench in W. A. Nos. 116 of 1964 and 4 of 1965 (Andh Pra) required reconsideration. Thereafter it came up for hearing before Kumarayya J.

Gopal Rao Ekbote, J.1. This revision petition is directed against the order of the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal made in Tribunal Appeal No. 341 of 1964 on 29th November, 1965.2.
