N.S. Ramaswami, J.1. This Letters Patent Appeal is against the judgment of Alagiriswami, J., who allowed the second appeal. The appellant before us is the Madras State Wakf Board, who was the defendant in the suit. The Board published under Section 5 of the Wakf Act, Central Act 29 of 1954, a Notification in the Fort St. George Gazette, stating that the property in dispute is a wakf. The plaintiff filed the suit out of which this appeal has arisen for a declaration of his title to the suit property and for a permanent injunction restraining the defendant from taking any action in pursuance of the publication of the above said notification.

Universal Radiators Vs. the State of Tamil Nadu

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-17-1973

Reported in: [1974]33STC341(Mad)

Ramanujam, J.1. The dispute in this case relates to the turnover of Rs. 1,02,250. As regards this turnover, the assessee's contention before the assessing authority as well as before the Appellate Assistant Commissioner was that it really represented works contracts and not transactions of sale. But both the assessing authority as well as the Appellate Assistant Commissioner rejected the assessee's contention and held that the turnover represented actual sales of oil-coolers and in that view, subjected the same to tax under the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act. Against the order of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner, the assessee filed an appeal before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal. In the memorandum of grounds before the Tribunal the assessee raised the only question whether the transactions were works contracts or not. Later, at the time of the bearing of the appeal by the Tribunal, the assessee filed an application for leave to file additional grounds. The additional ground rai...
