Sri Durga Distilleries Vs. Commissioner of Commercial Taxes and anr.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jan-02-2001

Reported in: [2001]123STC487(Kar)

M.F. Saldanha, J. 1. We have heard the learned Counsel on both sides in this appeal. The appellants are manufacturers of Fenny and it was alleged that a suppression was detected during the assessment year July 1, 1986 to June 30, 1987. The date of detection is material because it was on December 13, 1986 that the intelligence authority notice that the value of the suppression amounted to Rs. 1,26,300. The assessing authority has added on an equivalent amount and proceeded on the basis that it would be rational to assume that a pattern had been detected and that consequently, the suppression should be valued at Rs. 2,52,600 which is double the value of the suppression that was originally detected. The submission canvassed is that in the first instance there is nothing to indicate that the assessee would have proceeded in the same manner for the remaining period and more importantly that it is most unlikely that anything of this sort would happen once the detection has taken place and th...

A.R. Associates Vs. Commissioner of Commercial Taxes and anr.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jan-02-2001

Reported in: [2001]122STC134(Kar)

M.F. Saldakha, J.1. The appellants before us claim exemption in respect of a consignment of coffee beans that had been sold to Ramesh Exports who are an export house based at Bangalore. In support of their plea that the goods were in fact exported, they produced the requisite form H and the bills of lading. The assessing authority disallowed the exemption claimed by an order dated April 17, 1996 principally on the ground that the assessee had failed to establish the factum of export within the framework of the requirement of Section 5(3) of the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 read with Rule 12(10)(a) of the Central Sales Tax (Registration and Turnover) Rules of 1957. The appellants thereafter preferred an appeal and the appellate authority by order dated August 23, 1996 allowed the appeal. The appellate authority proceeded on the footing that Ramesh Exports was a reputed export house regularly engaged in the export of coffee beans and that it had been pointed out that the consignment was e...

Ravindra N. Tantry Vs. Shivaleela and ors.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jan-01-2001

Reported in: II(2001)ACC125; 2001ACJ1906; ILR2001KAR1676; 2001(6)KarLJ132

The Court 1. This appeal is filed by the appellant who was second respondent before the lower Court against the L.Rs. of the deceased Basappa Banatti and the Insurance Company. 2. In brief the grounds of appeal are as follows: The Tribunal was wrong in holding that the appellant who was the driver of the vehicle in question as responsible for the accident in question. To come to such conclusion, the Tribunal relied upon the evidence of those who were not even the eye-witnesses. Thus, the finding, thatthe appellant as guilty for the death of Basappa Banatti is erroneous. The very evidence of P.W. 4, the so-called eye-witness makes it clear that he was not even an eye-witness to the incident. Tribunal gravely erred in considering his evidence. 3. As a matter of fact, the appellant who deviated his vehicle to avoid the boy coming into contact with the vehicle, the vehicle came into contact with a pole, therefore he never touched or dashed late Basappa Banatti. The non-examination of the i...
