Reported in: AIR1984AP169

Ramarao, J.1. The plaintiff is the appellant. This appeal arises out of a suit filed for recovery of the principal amount of Rs. 15,000/- and interest thereon on the foot of a mortgage. The defendants are the successors to late Sivakoti Laxmanrao and also Narayanrao and as such they are liable to pay the debt due under the mortgage executed by their predecessors.

Amareswari, J.1. Now, we have Dr. Dharma Teja, a well known figure in the shipping industry before us in this case.

Act as unconstitutional and arbitrary. 2. Dr. Teja is citizen of India. He started a shipping company by name said company. 3. He was its chairman.

P.S. and Company Vs. State of Andhra Pradesh

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Sep-13-1983

Reported in: [1984]56STC283(AP)

Seetharam Reddy, J.1. The sole, but important question is whether a contract for construction and supply of harbour ferry, constitutes a contract for sale or a contract for work and labour. The question of this nature has been defying easy adjudication since long by the courts of judicature of this country as well as abroad. The search and research in the forensic laboratory has not hitherto discovered a pigeon hole, fixing the given material into one or the other by a strait jacket formula. This search however will continue with the sanguineness that one day a solution will emerge, saving or smashing the sales tax payer. 2. Now the facts : The assessee-petitioner carrying on the business of builder and repairer of ships and ferries at Visakhapatnam, entered into an agreement with the Government of India for the 'construction and supply of harbour ferry' capable of carrying 200 day passengers as per the specifications and technical particulars of tender at a cost of Rs. 30,60,000 as pe...
