Raghuvir, J.1. The proprietor of the Modern Publishers at Tenali who have now changed their business name to be 'Pillalamarri Publishers' (the Publishers) complain in the suit of infringement of copyright in a book 'Tara-sasankam' printed by them in 1945.

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Seetharama Reddy, J. 1. The petitioners, 114 in number, complain that the Executive Officer, Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams, by a stroke of pen, under the guise of unguided statutory provision, put an end to their age-old business of bartering (tonsuring and haircutting) in Tirumala Hills area abridging thereby the fundamental right resulting in violation of Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India.2. The case is concerned with the rights of barbers in respect of their calling, viz., tonsuring and hair-cutting, vis-a-vis the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams.

In this case, it pertains to the 10-1/3 square miles of the Tirumala Hills, area wherein the main shrine of Lord Venkateswara is located and where pilgrims offer their hair to be shaven by barbers, to the deity.

Reported in: [1981]47STC204(AP)
Alladi Kuppuswami, Ag.C.J. 1. Though the assessees are different in these two cases, it is admitted that the facts are similar. Hence it is sufficient to state the facts in one of them, viz., T.R.C. No. 58 of 1977. The facts are that the assessee while submitting his return for the year 1971-72 claimed exemption in regard to a turnover of Rs. 3,63,057.37 and Rs. 1,20,497.28 on the ground that they represented purchases of copra and watery coconuts which were again sold to other dealers within the State. The assessee therefore claimed that he was not the last purchaser in respect of these commodities and as tax was leviable only at the point of last purchase on these commodities, he was entitled to the exemption on the turnover relating to them. In support of his contention he produced a list of dealers to whom the copra and watery coconuts were sold. This list contained the bill number, the date of the sale, the amount for which it was sold. and the name and address of the purchaser. T...
