ORDERGopal Rao Ekbote, C.J.1. The short but important question involved in this enquiry is whether a part of Section 10 of the Central Sales Tax Act is ultra vires of Article 14 of the Constitution. It arises in the following circumstances:2. The petitioners are dealers in paddy. They purchase paddy within the State. They pay purchase tax on such purchases. They sell the paddy to dealers outside the State and the paddy is thus exported.3. The petitioners claimed before the assessing authority exemption from the payment of tax under Section 10 of the Central Sales Tax Act (hereinafter referred to as the Act). Since the turnover in regard to which exemption was sought fell beyond the scope of Section 10, the assessing authority rejected the claim.4. It is also to challenge the order of the Deputy Commissioner (City Kurnool) dated 25th April, 1970, that the present writ petition is filed. Although an appeal is pending against the said order, since the vires of Section 10 is challenged, th...
