Reported in: [2001]124STC569(Mad)

ORDERR. Jayasimha babu, J. 1. Despite the law having been declared by this Court in more than one decision that sewing thread is cotton yarn ; that it does not lose its character as such yarn by reason of the use to which it is put and that it is taxable as declared goods at single point and not multi point as general goods, the State has nevertheless sought to tax sewing thread not as declared goods but as general goods, under the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959.2. The decisions of this Court are to be found in State of Tamil Nadu v. R.V. Krishniah Chetty and Sons [1994] 92 STC 262 and State of Tamil Nadu v. R.V. Krishniah Chetty and Sons [1990] 78 STC 422. Both these decisions were rendered by a Bench comprising of Mr. Justice Venkataswami and Mr. Justice Raju (as they then were). The Government was very much a party to those judgments. We are informed that those judgments have become final, no appeal having been preferred against the same. The Tribunal in this case has chosen...

Reported in: [2001]124STC654(Mad)

ORDERR. Jayasimha babu, J.1. The assessee had opted to pay tax on the total contract value in respect of civil works executed by it under contract the option having been given by Section 7C of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959 (hereinafter referred to as 'the TNGST Act') which provision was meant as an alternative mode of discharging the liability for tax on transfer of goods involved in works contract, the levy of which is provided for under Section 3B of the Act.2. By reason of the amendment effected to the Constitution in Article 466 and the introduction of Clause (29A) thereunder, the scope of the words 'tax on the sale or purchase of goods' was expanded to include, inter alia, 'the tax on the transfer of property in goods (whether as goods or in some other forms) involved in the execution of works contract'.

Rallis India Limited Vs. Assistant Collector of C. Ex., Coonoor

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Sep-13-2001

Reported in: 2002(81)ECC700; 2002(139)ELT265(Mad)

V.S. Sirpurkar, J. 1. The Writ Appeal is against the order of the learned single Judge, whereby, the writ petition was dismissed. Learned single Judge had also given a direction, while dismissing the writ petition, that the petitioner be given liberty to approach the Appellate Forum under the Act for the denial of refund, if they were advised to do so. 2. The writ petition pertained to applications made for refund of a sum of Rs. 81,81,031.48. The said refund applications seem to have been made on two dates, they being 8-12-1988 and 14-5-1990. There is a short factual background to this controversy. It is an admitted position that the claim of the petitioners was accepted right up to the Supreme Court. In fact, the claim was accepted by the Collector of Central Excise in Appeal No. 469 of 1982, dated 21-12-1983. On that basis, the petitioners also had stopped payment of duties, but were directed to pay duties on the ground that the order of the Collector dated 21-2-1983 was challenged ...
