The State of Tamil Nadu Vs. J.C. Electricals

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-06-1982

Reported in: [1984]57STC16(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J. 1. The question in this case is, whether the sales effected by the assessee are first sales or second sales of electrical goods. The contention of the assessee, quite naturally, is that they were all second sales. This has been accepted by the Tribunal in appeal. In this revision, the State Government questions that finding. 2. It is on record that the goods which have been sold by the assessee in this case were all goods purchased from a concern by name 'Honesty Electricals'. This Honesty Electricals figured in two tax cases on a former occasion, before this Court, in T.C. No. 1078 of 1982 [State of Tamil Nadu v. Devendra Electricals Printed at page 17 infra] and T.C. No. 1201 of 1982. In both these tax cases, the question was, whether Honesty Electricals was a bogus concern or whether it was a real dealer having real transactions in purchases and sales. This Court held in those tax cases that Honesty Electricals was a genuine dealer and its sales were second sale...

Pappayee Ammal Vs. Subbulakshmi Ammal and anr.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-02-1982

Reported in: AIR1983Mad344; (1983)1MLJ232

1. Mr. Sarvabhauman the learned counsel for the revision petitioner, contends that it is rather strange that the appellate Court had appointed a Commissioner when there is already in records a report of the Commissioner which was not attacked by the aggrieved appellants before the lower court, and in the circumstances, the order of the lower appellate Court is contrary to law. In this regard, he refers to the decisions reported in T. R. Rajagopala Iyer v. T. R. Ramachandra Iyer. and Arumugham v. Arumugham, 1979-1 Mad LJ 358.2. In the instant case, before me, the petition was filed by the appellant in A. S. No. 132 of 1979 under O. 29. R. 9 and Ss. 94 and151. Civil P.C. praying for appointment of a Commissioner for local inspection of the suit property. In the affidavit accompanying the petition I.A. No. 324 of 1981 it is inter alia stated on oath by Selvaraj, the second appellant, that a Commissioner was appointed in the trial Court and that he had filed his reports and plans. It is fu...

Sree Ayyanar Spinning and Weaving Mills Ltd. Vs. Union of India

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-01-1982

Reported in: 1983LC199D(Madras); 1983(14)ELT2342(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J. 1. The issue which is raised in this writ petition is about the extent of the coverage of the exemption from Customs duty on imported viscose staple fibre under a Central Government notification of 198. 2. The answer depends on our being able to distinguish between different varieties of Customs duties and the nature of each. It also depends on our understanding of the precise terms of the notification under which exemption from duty has been granted to viscose staple fibres. 3. In this country we now have various duties of customs, called basic duty, additional duty, auxiliary duty and surcharge. The first two alone are in point for the present discussion. The Customs Act, 1962 deals with Customs duty proper, which people refer to as the basic duty. The Customs Act is a permanent Code for the Customs. It establishes the administrative hierarchy for the management of duties of customs; it lays down the assessment procedure; it contains enforcement provisions, such ...

Al. Murugan Chettiar and anr. Vs. State of Tamil Nadu

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-01-1982

Reported in: [1983]53STC227(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J.1. The appellants in these two appeals are different. Each of them is an assessee under the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959. Each of them owns a ginning factory in which raw cotton or kapas is converted into lint or ginned cotton. As if by a coincidence, each of them does not keep any accounts at all of his purchases. But the commercial taxes department was able to obtain figures of the sales of ginned cotton or lint. Cotton, in any form, is not assessable at the point of sale, which may be one reason why these people have not kept their accounts of purchases. For want of figures of purchases, the assessing authority was hard put to it to estimate the purchase value of raw cotton by applying a formula and arriving at their purchase value from the data furnished by the sales turnover of ginned cotton. In arriving at the purchase turnover from the data available in regard to the sales turnover, the purchase turnover was arrived at in the following fashion, to t...
