Reported in: 2003ACJ1599; (2003)IIILLJ158Kant

M.F. Saldanha, J. 1. We have heard the learned counsel who represent the contesting parties. The main submission canvassed by the appellant's learned counsel is that the authority was wrong in having awarded only 60% of the aggregate compensation that had been computed in so far as the finding and evidence clearly indicates that the appellant was incapable of carrying on with the machine job after the amputation and further more that he was in fact discharged from service. Reliance is placed on two decisions, the first of them reported in 1965-II-LLJ-20 (Mys) wherein the Division Bench has very clearly applied the test as to whether the injured was capable of carrying on any other lesser form of employment and in the absence of evidence to establish this that he has lost his job as a result of the accident that he would still be entitled to 100% compensation and not the percentage amount. The same view has been expressed by the Bombay High Court in the decision reported in 1966-II-LLJ-...

Hellios Food Additives Private Limited Vs. State of Karnataka

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Dec-13-2002

Reported in: [2003]132STC47(Kar)

ORDERM.F. Saldanha, J.1. Once again, this Court is faced with the familiar dispute that arises under the Karnataka Sales Tax Act, 1957, relating to classification of a particular item. The petitioner-company manufactures a product under the brand name 'Lite-N-Soft Gel'. According to the material available before us, this product is used exclusively as a bakery product and is known in the trade as a cake improver. It provides sponginess to the cake, improves its consistency and the shelf life. The petitioners had contended that it should be categorised under item 10A under Part 'C' of the Second Schedule under the head of 'chemicals of all types'. It did surprise us slightly that this contention was taken up before the department initially because the petitioners have filed several reports and certificates before us and these unequivocally indicate that this gel essentially consists of an emulsifier which is really a vegetable based fat. Whatever be the reason for it, perhaps as pointed...
