The State of Tamil Nadu Vs. Sri Venkateswara and Co.
Court: Chennai
Decided on: Apr-14-1977
Reported in: [1978]41STC28(Mad)
Sethuraman, J.1. The only point raised in this revision petition filed by the State against the order of the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal is whether the Tribunal acted properly in levying 1 per cent tax on the rice starch sold by the assessee as if it came within the scope of the proviso to Section 3(1) of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959. The assessment is for the assessment year 1967-68. The assessee sold what is called 'inedible starch made from contaminated rice' and claimed it to be a rice product within the meaning of Section 3(1), proviso (1), as it was made of rice. The assessing authority and the Appellate Assistant Commissioner did not accept this submission of the assessee and, therefore, brought the amount to tax at the rate of 3 per cent. On further appeal, the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal held that the produce sold by the assessee came within the scope of the said proviso, as the term 'rice product' used in the said proviso was wide enough to encompass rice star...

Ramaprasada Rao, Offg. C.J.1. The appellant, not satisfied with the order of Mohan J. passed in W.

The petitioner claims that he was discharging his duties properly. One of the ordainments in the said wakf deed as per the intentions of the wakif was that an Arabic School Madarsa at Kayatar in Tirunelveli Dt., to propagate the Arabic language was to be maintained and education given to the students seeking for such benefits.
