Court: Chennai

Decided on: Sep-16-1974

Reported in: [1975]35STC226(Mad)

Veeraswami, C.J.1. This batch of cases involves construction of Section 5 of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act. The assessee, the Coimbatore District Central Co-operative Supply and Marketing Society Ltd., was found to have a turnover of Rs. 5,30,92,979.52. Out of this turnover Rs. 3,68,34,733.11 was given exemption under Section 17 read with item 44 by an order of Government issued under that section. The taxable turnover was thus found to be Rs. 1,62,58,246.41. This turnover was subjected to tax under Section 3(1). Later, the Deputy Commercial Tax Officer, on a further verification of the assessment files, estimated a turnover of Rs. 9,44,156.90 to be liable to tax under Section 5 of the Act. There is no controversy that this turnover represents sales of the type comprehended by Section 5.2. What is contended for the assessee is that even so when the entire turnover of Rs. 5,30,92,979.52 was the subject-matter of assessment under Section 3(1), there is no further room for applicat...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Sep-12-1974

Reported in: (1975)1MLJ4

K. Veeraswami, C.J.1. A certain poramboke, which was vested in the Panchayat by reason of Section 86 of the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act, 1958, was taken out by the Collector and assigned to the second respondent. That was sought to be quashed. But Ramaprasada Rao, J., declined to interfere.2. The short ground in the appeal is that there was no consultation by the Collector with the Panchayat as required by Section 86 (3). That section is clear that the Collector, after consulting the Panchayat, may, by notification, exclude from the operation of the Act any poramboke referred to in Sub-section (2). The Collector, after following the procedure, may also modify or cancel the notification. It was said on behalf of the Collector that a notice was sent to the Panchayat President, but that the latter refused to receive it. The President has sworn to an affidavit denying any such refusal. Ramaprasada Rao, J., was of the view that if the President refused, that would amount to sufficient consult...
