Court: Kerala
Decided on: Jan-08-2003
Reported in: 2003(2)KLT335
C.N. Ramachandran Nair, J.1.

The petitioner's case is that the petitioner is a registered dealer under the K.G.S.T. and C.S.T. Acts in Kerala and is liable to pay sales tax on the sale of marble brought by it on its sale, since 'marble' is an item taxable under the First Schedule to the K.G.S.T. Act at the point of first sale in the State. According to the petitioner, the goods transported are covered by sale bill and other documents and the second respondent has no case to the contrary.

They have a further case that there is no proper assessment and demand of entry tax and th...
