State of Andhra Pradesh Vs. Pallavi Potteries

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Dec-13-1995

Reported in: [2003]133STC76(AP)

P. Venkatarama Reddi, J. 1. The question in this T.R.C. filed by the State is whether stoneware glazed pipes sold by the respondent come under entry 102 of the First Schedule to the A.P. General Sales Tax Act.2. Though the order of the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal is quite unsatisfactory inasmuch as it has not referred to the tests laid down by the decisions of the Supreme Court in State of U.P. v. Indian Hume Pipe Co. Ltd. : (1977)2SCC724 and Deputy Commissioner of Sales Tax v. G.S. Pai & Co. : [1980]1SCR938 and tested the correctness of the respective view points in the light of the material gathered by the revisional authority, we are not inclined to interefere with the ultimate conclusion reached by the Tribunal.3. The Tribunal merely followed its earlier decision in T.A. Nos. 798 of 1977, 63 and 66 of 1978 dated June 29, 1978. That decision was rendered prior to the aforementioned judgment of the Supreme Court in G.S. Pai & Company's case : [1980]1SCR938 . The Tribunal itself had ...

Nookala Ramesh Reddy Vs. Gudipudi Rangarao

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Dec-13-1995

Reported in: 1996(3)ALT501

ORDERS.V. Maruthi, J.1. The point involved in this revision is whether the document in question is a bond or a promissory note. The learned District Munsif held that it is a bond as it is attested by two witnesses and also the vital words 'payable to or your order' are missing in the said document. Against that order, the defendant has filed the present-revision petition.2. The main contention of the petitioner is that merely because the document does not mention the words 'payable to or your order' it does not cease to be a promissory note. In support of his contention he relied on a decision in M. Akbar Khan v. Attar-Singh, AIR 1936 P.C. 171. In that case, the Privy Council while considering whether a document is merely a receipt or a promissory note held as follows:'That the document was not a promissory note but was merely a receipt containing the terms on which the amount was to be refunded. Being primarily a receipt even if coupled with the promise to pay, it was not a promissory...

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Dec-12-1995

Reported in: II(1996)DMC417

V. Rajagopala Reddy, J.1. Though the 1st respondent was served notice none appeared for him. Heard the learned Public Prosecutor. This Criminal Revision Case is directed against the order of the learned Magistrate passed in the M.C. No. 16/94 dismissing the same on the ground that the Court has no jurisdiction. The order is not a speaking order. On this ground itself the order is liable to be set aside.2. Section 126 of the Criminal Procedure Code makes it clear that the proceedings under the said section can be taken against person, in any District. Where the wife of the husband resides, or the husband last resided with his wife. The concerned District is, therefore, the area of jurisdiction. It is not necessary that the parties should have resided within his jurisdiction.3. Admittedly the parties belong to Ananthapur District. The petitioners who are the wife and children of the 1 st respondent can therefore, file a petition for maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure...
