The State of Andhra Pradesh Vs. Polireddi Satyanarayana and anr.

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-12-1971

Reported in: [1972]29STC512(AP)

Obul Reddi, J. 1. The main question that arises in these two revisions is whether the Tribunal has correctly construed the scope of Sub-section (4) of Section 14 of the A.P. General Sales Tax Act. The Tribunal was of the view that apart from the class of cases referred to by it in its order, the assessing officer cannot exercise his jurisdiction under Sub-section (4) of Section 14. In the words of the Tribunal:He has only the power to correct any mistake made by him in computing the turnovers or/and of making additional assessments where any new evidence is brought to his notice or is found in the records to which he had not adverted his mind.2. These three circumstances, according to the Tribunal, are not present in these two cases and therefore the assessing authority was not justified in exercising its jurisdiction under Sub-section (4) of Section 14 of the Act.3. To appreciate the question involved, it is necessary to state the relevant facts leading up to the filing of this revisi...
