S. Vadivel Mudaliar and Sons and anr. Vs. the State of Tamil Nadu

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-23-1981

Reported in: [1983]52STC189(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J.1. These two tax cases arise under the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959. Although the assessees in the two cases are different, the problem raised in these appeals from the Board's common order is similar. Indeed, the Board had dealt with both these cases as raising the same issues. 2. The point arises out of a claim for deduction by the assessees for freight charges which were included in their turnover. Both the assessees carry on business in minerals. They sell the minerals to their customers fixing the price ex mine, but undertake to transport the minerals to the particular destination which is pointed out by the customers concerned. The assessees claimed that they were entitled to deduct the cost of freight from the total turnover, in accordance with the provisions of rule 6(c)(i) of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Rules, 1959. This rule provides that freight, when specified and charged for by the dealer separately, without including the freight in the p...

V. Sethuraman, J.1. This second appeal has been filed by the plaintiff in O.S. No. 29 of 1978 in the Court of the District Munsif of Thiruvaiyaru. He has been unsuccessful throughout. The suit properties measuring 9.28 acres are situate in Keeraikollai Vattam within the Municipal limits of Thanjavur Town. It is not in dispute that these properties belong to the plaintiff.

The mortgagee assigned his interest by a registered assignment dated 2nd September, 1972, in favour of defendants 1 and 2, who are husband and wife respectively. The plaintiff's case was that on the same day, he entered into an oral arrangement by which the defendants were to be in possession of the suit properties for a period of three years, so that the income from the properties could be adjusted against the loan.
