Coffee Board Vs. the State of Tamil Nadu

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jan-18-1984

Reported in: [1984]55STC352(Mad)

Ramanujam, J. 1. In this tax revision case filed by the assessee, the levy of penalty under section 12(5)(ii) which has been upheld by the Tribunal is questioned. In this case, admittedly, the assessee has not submitted the monthly returns for August, 1979, and February and March, 1980. It is also not in dispute that the failure to submit the monthly returns for the above three months within the prescribed time falls within section 12(4)(ii) as the account books maintained by the dealer were found to have been corrected by the assessing authority. So far as the default in filing the monthly return for August is concerned, a penalty of Rs. 96 was levied; but the Tribunal has set aside that penalty on the ground that section 12(5)(ii) came into operation only on 3rd December, 1979, and therefore, the default in filing the monthly return for the month of August, 1979, cannot come within the mischief of section 12(5)(ii). However, it sustained the penalty levied for the default committed i...
