Veeraswami, J.(1). These two petitions for certiorari involve the interpretation of the true scope and ambit of the Madras Entertainments Tax (Amendment) Act, 1966, more specially Sections 2 and 7 of the Act. For deciding this question, it will suffice to notice the facts in W.P. No. 2408 of 1966.(2) The petitioner in that case is the Managing partner of a Cinema Theatre styled as 'The K.M.S. Theatre' at Mettupalayam in Coimbatore district. The other partners of the firm are his two brothers, one of whom is a minor. On 7-11-1965, the Commercial Tax Officer, Erode, made a surprise inspection of the theatre and found the booking clerk actually selling unauthorised tickets with forget seal 'C.T.O., Mettupalayam'.

The department went upon the basis that as the respondent failed to comply with Rule 26(13) of the Madras General Sales Tax Rules, 1959, it necessarily followed that the respondent forfeited his right to single point taxation, even if he had otherwise established that the transactions to the value of Rs. 6,227 relate to second sales.2. We do not think that Rule 26(13) of the Madras General Sales Tax Rules is mandatory. The rule does not say so. It merely relates to a manner of keeping accounts. Section 3(2) of the Madras General Sales Tax Act, 1959, is quite clear that in the case of goods mentioned in the First Schedule, the tax is payable by the buyer at the rate and only at the point specified therein on the turnover in each year. This sub-section is not subject to any other provision or...
