State of Andhra Pradesh Vs. Pulp n Pack (Pvt) Ltd.

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Nov-14-1994

Reported in: [1995]98STC165(AP)

Syed Shah Mohammed Quadri, J.1. This is a State's revision under section 22(1) of the A.P. General Sales Tax Act, 1957 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). It is filed against the order passed by the Tribunal in T.A. No. 538 of 1982 taking the view that 'paper pulp trays' used for carrying eggs, known as egg trays, should be classified under entry 19 of the First Schedule to the Act. The learned Government Pleader submits that egg trays fall under 'general goods' and are taxable under section 5(1) of the Act. The question whether the paper pulp egg trays fall under entry 19 of the First Schedule to the Act, is covered by the judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in State of A.P. v. Chennupati Traders, Vijayawada (1989) 9 APSTJ 17. However, the learned Government Pleader submits that in view of the judgment of the Supreme Court in G. Claridge & Company Limited v. Collector of Central Excise (1991) 52 ELT 341, the judgment in State of A.P. v. Chennupati Traders, Vijayawada (1989)...

State of Andhra Pradesh Vs. Swapna Mahila Co-operative Super Bazar

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Nov-14-1994

Reported in: [1995]98STC123(AP)

Syed Shah Mohammed Quadri, J.1. The question that arises for consideration in these tax revision cases, filed by the State under section 22(1) of the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, 1957 (for short 'the Act'), is : 'Whether the iron trunk box is a 'container' within the meaning of entry 19 of the Schedule I of the Act ?' 2. The assessee is a co-operative super bazar. It claimed exemption on the turnover of the iron boxes on the ground that the second sales of iron boxes fall under entry 19 of the Schedule I of the Act. The assessing authority did not agree with this contention and treated the same as general goods which are taxable under section 5(1) of the Act. That view of the assessing authority was upheld by the appellate authority. But on a further appeal to the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal, the orders of the assessing authority as well as the appellate authority were set aside and the trunk box is held to be a 'container' within the meaning of entry 19 of Schedule I to the ...

ORDERB. Subhashan Reddy, J 1. The question at issue is whether the provisions of the A.P. Civil Courts Act, 1972 deal with the valuation of suits determining pecuniary jurisdiction overriding the provisions contained in the A.P. Court Fees & Suits Valuation Act, 1956. The matter is of practical importance and the reference has been made to the Full Court to resolve the divergence of opinion.2. We may narrate the events leading to the reference.

Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1956 (hereinafter ref...

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Nov-11-1994

Reported in: [1995]98STC82(AP)

Syed Shah Mohammed Quadri, J.1. These three tax revision cases, relating to the same assessee but pertaining to different assessment years, are preferred by the State under section 22(1) of the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, 1957 (for short 'the State Act'), against the common order of the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal in appeals dated July 1, 1987. The question, which pertains to assessment of sales tax under the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 (for short 'the Central Act'), is common in the three revisions and arises out of common facts. Therefore, they are heard together and are being disposed of by a common judgment. 2. For appreciating the question in these cases, we would refer to the facts in Tax Revision Case No. 148 of 1988. It relates to the assessment year 1980-81.

Decided on: Nov-09-1994

Reported in: [1995]97STC442(AP)

Syed Shah Mohammad Quadri, J.1. The question which arises for consideration in this tax revision case, is the scope of the power of the assessing authority to revise the assessment under section 14(4) of the A.P.
