Court: Orissa

Decided on: Nov-18-1976

Reported in: [1977]40STC224(Orissa)

Ismail, J.1. It was the admitted case that the petitioner imported the splints under concessional rate of tax with declaration in form C that they would be used for manufacturing matches in its own factory.Contrary to the declaration, equally admittedly the petitioner sold the splints to other persons. In view of this, the petitioner was found guilty of Section 10(d) read with Section 8(3)(d) of the Central Sales Tax Act and a penalty was imposed on it under Section 10A thereof. It is the correctness of this levy of penalty that is challenged in this petition.2.

We are of the opinion that ...
