Kamadhenu Trading Company Vs. the State of Tamil Nadu

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Apr-18-1984

Reported in: [1985]60STC108(Mad)

Ramanujam, J. 1. The only question that arises for our consideration in this tax revision case filed by the assessee is whether the mixture of maize with rice bran and molasses is eligible for exemption under the Notification No. II(1) Commercial Taxes and Religious Endowments 316/79 dated 12th April, 1979. The Tribunal has taken the view that since maize has not been exempted by virtue of any notification, the mixture of maize with rice bran and molasses cannot be exempted from tax. The said decision of the Tribunal has been challenged before us. But we are of the view that the Tribunal has come to the right conclusion on the facts and in the circumstances of this case. It is not in dispute that the petitioner-assessee has sold during the period from 17th July, 1980 to 14th August, 1980 mixture of maize with rice bran and molasses, the turnover being Rs. 48,990. It is in respect of that turnover the assessee seeks exemption on the basis of the said Notification No. II(1) Commercial Ta...
